NBA Player Match and Similarity Tool

Find replacement players *Default

The Match Option allows you to find players that are most likely to replace the selected player’s performance. As a result it tends to return high performers. Range control can help regulate the results based on similarity, salary, or PER. Use relevant stats for your analysis to prevent matches based on irrelevant categories. Only looking for another shooter, include shooting stats, not defensive stats.

Find similar players

The Similarity Option allows you to find players that are the most similar. All-stars and role players tend not to have high similarity scores, unless you are only looking at specific parameters (Pick N' Roll play, shot location, distance traveled). Using the per 40min option as opposed to the per game option, can help regulate differences due to minutes played.
