Warriors Player Rankings through 55 Games

I started tracking number of games started, so now I can rather easily assign ranks to starter and non-starters, which I think is important to distinguish (at least, until I begin to incorporate strength of opponent and teammates into ezPM — can you say summer project?)

So, with this post, I am going to simply give the ranks of each Warriors starter and reserve in each component of ezPM with respect to other starters and reserves in the league. For simplicity, my definition of “starter” is any player who has started an above average number of games. Right now, the threshold for that designation is at 18 GS. Any player with less than 18 GS is considered a “reserve”. If someone has a better definition in mind (that is practical), be sure to say so in the comments section. One other idea I have is to take the ratio of GS to GP (games played), but that still would require making some rather arbitrary cutoff. Ok, just to emphasize, the starters are ranked with respect to other starters, and the reserves are ranked with respect to other reserves (with > 500 possessions played).
