NBA Best Values
NBA Player Earnings
An up-to-date look at the value rankings of all active NBA players based on a mathematical comparison of their current salary against their cumulative "production points".
More specifically, our Value Ratings are generated by compiling the current statistics for each player, then comparing them against all other players of that position (minimum 35% games played, minimum 7 minutes per game). From there, we compare that player's current salary against the average salary for players of that position. The difference in statistical production plus the difference in financial compensation determines a player's current value rating.
