Trying to build a comprehensive player rating scheme is no easy task. We'll admit to being partial to the excellent work done by Dan Rosenbaum with his ultra-sophisticated DanVal numbers, or gauging player efficency on a possession basis ala Dean Oliver.
In the past the "Roland Rating" has been simply the player's on court versus off court net team influence. That's a good number, but certainly not the whole story. Ideally a player rating scheme should encompass
- Inividual player production
- One-on-one defense
- Team success influence
The new charting experiments will allow us to evolve this rating over the course of the season to become more detailed and refined, for now we'll stick with some old standbys in a quick take on the early season action!

Legend:
PER = the player's PER rating based on a formula created by John Hollinger.
Opp. = the PER rating of the player's counterpart while on the floor.
Per Diff = the difference between the player's PER and his opponent's.
On = team net points per 48 minutes with the player on court.
Off = team net points per 48 minutes with the player off court.
Net = the on court versus off court difference.
Roland Rating = an average of the two ratings (3:1 Per Diff:On/Off).
