ESPN RPM projections for OKC Thunder miss the mark

What is RPM?

RPM or Real Plus Minus measures how teams and players perform utilizing statistical factors. RPM offers analytical proof of players added benefit on court.  It’s a statistic TI are bound to utilize heavily this season particularly when discussing which players add the greatest value.

"RPM estimates how many points each player adds or subtracts, on average, to his team’s net scoring margin for each 100 possessions played. The RPM model also yields separate ratings for the player’s impact on both ends of the court: offensive RPM (ORPM) and defensive RPM (DRPM)."
