Points Generated By Possession Ended for First 4 Games

I wrote some scripts that would calculate a metric I made up a year or two ago. I had to update the script so that's why you're getting all 4 games at once.

This metric essentially takes the total points a player scored and the estimated number of points scored from assists and divides that by the number of possessions the player ended by making a shot, turning the ball over, shooting free throws, or missing a shot (with missed shots being weighted by the opponents defensive rebounding rate). A good way to think about this is the players with the highest values are typically the ones that played well on the offensive side, or the ones that made the most of their limited minutes.  Top 5 minute leaders in bold.

UVU

Jake Toolson: 2.03333333333
Nate Austin: 1.76666666667
Chase Fischer: 1.57603686636
Kyle Collinsworth: 1.31492666091
Nick Emery: 1.18597560976
Jordan Chatman: 1.15094339623
Zac Seljaas: 1.06153846154
Kyle Davis: 1.03286384977
Braiden Shaw: 1.0
Cory Calvert: 0.901960784314
Corbin Kaufusi: 0.730158730159
Jakob Hartsock: 0.522727272727
Cooper Ainge: 0.0

Toolson shined in this game, and Austin was effective in his limited touches.  Everyone else had pretty poor games.

Long Beach State

Corbin Kaufusi: 1.31690140845
Jordan Chatman: 1.24822695035

Nick Emery: 0.268292682927
Cory Calvert: 0.0
Zac Seljaas: 0.0
Jakob Hartsock: 0.0

Horrible game all around.  I'm guessing (or at least hoping) that this game is the worst game in Emery's career.  Interesting to see that for the second straight game, Toolson led all players with offensive efficiency.

Adams State

Zac Seljaas: 3.0
Nate Austin: 2.10294117647
Jordan Chatman: 1.98479391757

Cory Calvert: 1.49428104575
Corbin Kaufusi: 1.41118638467

Kyle Davis: 1.0185258491
Chase Fischer: 0.95942513369
Jakob Hartsock: 0.683823529412

Seljaas makes the most of his limited minutes.  This is really the only decent offensive performance this season.

Mississippi Valley

Nick Emery: 1.67317487267
Kyle Davis: 1.44078947368
Kyle Collinsworth: 1.39593301435
Jamal Aytes: 1.36363636364
Chase Fischer: 1.17744360902
Corbin Kaufusi: 1.07763157895
Jake Toolson: 1.06371191136
Jordan Chatman: 0.888157894737
Nate Austin: 0.857142857143
Zac Seljaas: 0.6

This game's problem was defense, not offense, though the offense wasn't really that stellar either, primarily because the reserves REALLY struggled.
