Pace Normalized Stats

[nonemus]

Is there a place where I can find stats that are pace adjusted for players?

[Jimmy76]

not that I know of

usually have to just crunch it yourself

Is it just linear though, or are there other measures you have to take? If the stats are 20/10 on 100 possessions, would they be 30/15 on 150 possessions?

yeah it's linear so exactly that

Subtle comment on the linear adjustment: it's linear only because there's not a good analytical method to adjust for changes in usage among teammates as pace increases/decreases. For example, if you take a vintage Patrick Ewing from the early/mid 90s playing at 90 poss/game, and increase pace to 120, there is no way his scoring goes up 33%. He needs the ball in his hands for too long in the halfcourt to support that kind of pace. Presumably, a 120 poss/game pace would require open court play that would cut down on his FGA. Ewing's rebounds might not increase in step with pace either as more would occur in fastbreak situations where he may not have good position. It's an inexact science. This is one thing that makes dramatic pace adjustments from the early 60s to today difficult. If you're talking a 10 poss/game shift, it probably won't have a significant impact.
