26/27 New Feature: On/Off Tool

Note: The monthly subscription option will now be available early in Week 2. 

The On/Off Tool is now live and available to both subscribers and non-subscribers!

This tool shows how players perform with and without their teammates on the floor. It will be very useful for figuring out what a player’s value looks like in different scenarios. For example, if Kevin Durant goes down later in the year, the tool will make it clear who is set to benefit the most from that injury.

The tool can be found under the Tools menu at the top of the site and can be accessed by following this link: On/Off Tool

 

The tool will automatically load your league’s settings if you are a subscriber and have uploaded your league via the League Settings & Upload page. Non-subscribers will need to adjust the settings manually.

The tool includes:

• Player Stats: per-36 points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, threes, three-point attempts, field goal attempts, free throw attempts, turnovers, and usage for every player, with a green or red marker showing how each number compares with the numbers from the rest of the player’s minutes.
• Biggest Usage Changes: whose usage spikes or drops with the selected players on or off the floor.
• Biggest Fantasy Value Changes: who gains or loses the most fantasy value. This section is adjustable for any category league or points league scoring system.

The tool is also adjustable for any time frame and can be adjusted to include or exclude garbage time. The tool updates overnight, after the final game of the day.

Here is a screenshot of the tool that looks at the impact of Fred VanVleet being on the court in the Rockets’ first game. Obviously, at this point in the season, the data in the tool will be very noisy due to the small sample size. However, as the season moves along, the data in the tool will become much more useful.

 

And here is how VanVleet’s teammates performed when he was off the court:
