All of the basement Analytics will be gone in the next 5 years.
The SportsVu system will make all of these types of meaures redundant. Some really neat stuff going on in Basketball where you can actually measure a players contribuition to creating open space. I think a measure of this type will what will support a players contribution to wins.
Essentially if as a forward you cause the defense to shift a few feet toward you more than the average player you create more space for the rest of hte team. On defense if players avoid you by a few feet you shrunk the rest of the ice down. These numbers are coming and you will no longer be limited by samplesize because every second of every player will be recorded and measured.
The type of stats above are interesting hiwever if you applied any statistical rigor to them the error bars would render it meaningless.
