I like TS Add (which I think you invented, Justin, although I "invented" it separately before you posted it on BBRef).

I like TS Add because it combines *volume with efficiency*.

Top TS Add P/G:

3.43 Wilt

3.38 Oscar

3.26 Dantley

3.07 Durant

3.02 Kareem

2.98 Curry

2.92 Gilmore w/ABA

2.88 West

2.77 Barkley

Top TS Add per 36 MP:

3.28 Dantley

3.12 Curry

3.00 Durant

2.96 Gilmore w/ABA

2.96 Kareem

2.89 Oscar

2.73 Harden

2.72 Barkley

2.70 Wilt

Since these points are raw numbers (although adjusted to league TS%), you probably should adjust for context, i.e., Wilt and Oscar played in a higher scoring context.

Any idea what Gilmore’s numbers look like if you do include the Kentucky years? Is that possible? Thanks for this!

His career z-score would drop to 2.20, but he'd still be comfortably on top.
