TOR v 2.0

I introduced you a new defensive measurement system at last post. In this post, I'll continue with new Team Offensive Ranking aka TOR.

TDR and TOR are very similar actually. The main principles behind both formulas are same. Things which are identical to TDR is ;

• Components of PSP and ePl
• Evaluating every team by considering their respecting opponents
• Computing every value for team's pace
• Fitting data to season's distribution curve
• Phase Multiplier

If we want to look at the differences between TOR and TDR, first difference is chosen PSP and ePl values. We were calculating teams' defensive gain function by using their opponents PSP (both they normally had and they showed against team) and their opponents ePl (also same here).  However, since we're evaluating team's offensive efficiency in TOR, we chose team's PSP and ePl values.

Second one is, in TDR we chose team's ePl allowed as upper bound of the integral to make sure evaluate defensive efficiency at team's pace. In TOR, upper bound of the integral will be number of ePl which team achieved, as you can guess. Hence, we can evaluate every team's offensive efficiency at the pace team chooses to play.

Here is the list of most efficient offensive teams;

Real Madrid, as I've expected, had the most efficient offense last season. They have great offensive players almost every position and they chose to rise on their offense,so no surprise. 

I mentioned about differences between pre-NBA Messina and post-NBA Messina in terms of defensive before. In offensive side of the game, things are a little different. He had the #2 efficient offensive team last year. There is no need to numbers to see that differences actually. Except for a few game - by the way Olympiakos game at F4 was one of these few games unfortunate for Russians - , CSKA's offenses was  just splendid.

#3 is Zalgiris Kaunas. Even though they faced lots of troubles* last year, Plaza's team did their best,I believe. I've researched their numbers in the group phase to satisfy my own curiosity. I can say you that, they were by far the best offensive team at group phase. 

It looks like defense still plays a little more role than offense in Euroleague. Yet, it's almost impossible to predict what will happen next year.

Note: We're not fully satisfied with phase multipliers. You can see the multiplier-free values below the TOR column and CDF column. I think it just needs more time and study to find a better multiplier.

* : Some of these are expected actually. After the group phase, I saw a twitt says "Romanov will find a way to ruin this beautiful team." I don't remember who wrote that but financial problems really hurt the team, no argument there. Yet, they also faced one of the weirdest problems in basketball; Ibrahim Jaaber. I mean, is this guy for real ?
