By: Screamin A Smith
The not-so-basic RPI formula is 1/4*(Winning Percentage) + 1/2*(Opponents' Average Winning Percentage) + 1/4*(Opponents' Opponents' Winning Percentage). Commonly used in NCAA bracketology, I have calculated it for A League and B League. However, I soon realized, after long hours, that A League teams all have the same exact schedule. Thus making the RPI rankings and the league standings identical.
I have new rankings according to the RPI. However, this does not change the seeding of any teams.
RPI: Ratings Percentile Index
SOS: Strength of Schedule
Team Record RPI SOS Rank
1. Dallas Mavericks 6-0 .5931 .4333 2
They have the highest RPI ranking in the league and the strongest SOS between the undefeated teams (who all have had the weakest SOS in the league). Although it irritates Captain Ben, the Mavs have found ways to win against a Box-1 defense.
2. Phoenix Suns 6-0 .5667 .3333 3
They’re undefeated but they’re sloppy. Somehow, Captain Seong Lee continues to find ways to put his team in winning positions.
2. O.K.C. Thunder 6-0 .5667 .3333 4
They’re small but they all hustle. Their defensive hustle and their smooth offense make this team a contender. The chemistry between the 3 guards is exceptional. However, the Thunder have yet to face a team with a true big man. It will be interesting to see how they compete.
4. Portland Trailblazers 6-0 .5514 .3 1
The number one seed took advantage of the easiest schedule in the entire league. It’s no wonder they have a point differential of 79. Can they adjust to tougher competition? Can they overcome the Curse of the Number One Seed?
5. Houston Rockets 2-4 .5139 .6333 11
The Rockets had the second hardest schedule in the league. With a different schedule, they are a team that could have been a winning team. This team has been tested tremendously. If they can find a way to correct their mistakes, they might be able to pull off an upset.
6. Orlando Magic 3-3 .5056 .5333 8
With a tough schedule, while missing leading scorer Paul Han, the Magic still managed to be a 500 team. Captain James Lee has made a couple adjustments that might help them compete again.
6. New York Knicks 2-4 .5056 .6 10
Another losing team, with a high RPI. The Knicks have the third hardest schedule in the league. But this team refuses to rebound. Without defensive rebounds, this team is unable to complete their identity as a fast team.
8. Chicago Bulls 4-2 .4958 .3667 5
The Bulls fall in the RPI rankings because of their weak schedule. However, their chemistry will keep them as competitors in the playoffs.
8. Toronto Raptors 3-3 .4958 .4667 7
The tandem of Enoch Ahn and Sammy Yoo is still a work in progress. Their teamwork with the addition of Captain Josh Cho allowed them to have a 500 season.
10. Philadelphia 76ers 3-3 .4931 .5 6
This team is finally playing well together. They are the most complete team. Great point guard, great center, and do-it-all forward David Sur.
11. Denver Nuggets 2-4 .4889 .6667 15
The Nuggets, tied with the Warriors, had the hardest schedule in the league. If Sam Ham gets hot, this team might go past the first round.
12. Memphis Grizzlies 2-4 .4847 .6 12
A deceptively bad record due to not having a complete team throughout the season. Look for them to pull off an upset. They have the size and shooters to make it happen.
13. Atlanta Hawks 2-4 .4792 .5667 9
Strangely fall back 4 spots from the standings. But don’t underestimate this team. If Tim Wang plays smarter and if Captain Dave Yu decides to play and if Elmo Chae brings the D, this team will make some noise.
14. Golden State Warriors 1-5 .4764 .6667 14
They need to find a way to be more efficient. They have the pieces but they are turnover prone and shoot a poor percentage.
15. Minnesota T’Wolves 0-6 .3986 .6 16
Tough schedule. This team still needs to find an identity. They need to move Gunny Khang to the shooting guard position. A point guard to distribute Gunny Khang and Daniel Lee should bring smoother offense.
16. N.O. Hornets 1-5 .3597 .3667 13
Weak schedule and losing record. But still has some potential to pull off an upset. If they can find better offense, instead of standing around on the perimeter, they might be able to win more games.
