I really dig the John Hollinger developed Game Score. IMHO it's a good metric to try and measure individual game productivity. It weights the accumulation of counting stats (including negative events like fouls and turnovers) and shooting efficiency as well. You can find each players average game score for a season by looking at their game logs on Basketball Reference. Gm Sc of 10 is avg. 40 is extraordinary (Coop had 2 40+ game scores this season and rookies have only had 11 40+ game scores dating back to availability of the metric in 77-78). The top guys in the league this season for example had avg game scores of Jokic (28.8), Shai and Luka (both 26.4), Wemby (22.4). 18 rookies played 1300+ mins this year (that's essentially the NBA's threshold for awards eligibility (65 gms and 20 mins a game) so that seems like a good sample size). Average game score this season of those 18 rookies: Flagg (16.4), Knueppel (14.0), Edgecombe (12.7), Coward (10.8), Reynaud (10.7), Queen (10.2), D. Harper (9.7), Fears (9.6), Bailey (9.2), Kalkbrenner (8.8), Demin (7.7), Riley (7.4), Tre Johnson (7.3), Clayton (6.1), Clifford (5.9), Will Richard (5.7), Sanders (5.0), Sion James (4.7). Coop's 16.4 avg Game Score is very very impressive when compared to recent RoYs (better than 9 of the last 10) - Castle (10.3), Wemby (18.4), Banchero (13.6), Barnes (13.1), Lamelo (13.0), Morant (13.9), Luka (15.8), Simmons (15.8), Brogdon (8.8), and KAT (15.4). And just because I was curious about a few more - LeBron (14.5), KD (12.5), Tim Duncan, first team all-NBA as a rookie (17.5).








Last night, Ryan Nembhard finished with 23 assists, tied for fourth most by a rookie in @NBA history. Through his assists he created 58 points, the most by a rookie ever: Ryan Nembhard - 58 (12.04.2026) Ramon Sessions - 56 (14.04.2008) Ernie DiGregorio - 50 (01.01.1974) Nate McMillan - 50 (23.02.1987) Jamaal Tinsley - 47 (22.11.2001) Darren Collison - 47 (08.03.2010)
