Kelly, I use http://basketballvalue.com/index.php .

That data gives possessions and points, so you have to calculate the efficiencies. I’m not aware of a site that does it automatically, but BBvalue is one of my go-to stat sites. Great stuff there – particularly for a “tinkerer” like me.

Thanks for the compliment, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
