DAWG — Recorded Actions · Regular season 1999

29.1Qualified · #104 of 111 (#47 of 49 guards)

Average of four component percentiles, 0–100, against her position in the same era; against every position it is 32.4. Compared with guards: her team's roster listing this season. Game-resample stability range 19.9–36.7 (not a credible interval).

Qualified: 203 minutes meets the 160-minute display threshold.

Four index components for regular season 1999: recorded count, rates per 40 minutes and percentile against this edition's era-local reference (computed from the adjusted rate). An em dash means the value is unavailable.
Component	Count	Observed /40	Adjusted /40	80% range	Pctl (pos)	Pctl (league)
Steals	6	1.18	1.40	0.94–1.90	29.6	41.0
Blocks	0	0.00	0.17	0.02–0.38	25.5	13.1
Offensive rebounds	2	0.39	0.82	0.42–1.28	23.5	11.3
Assists	17	3.35	3.26	2.39–4.20	37.8	64.4

How much each estimate leans on the league

Steals: 52% of the adjusted rate comes from this player's own record and 48% from the league population.

Box-score diagnostics shown beside the index; none are added or subtracted.
Recorded action	Count	Observed /40
Defensive rebounds	17	3.35

Turnovers with a credited steal: 15
Turnovers without a credited steal: 8
Offensive fouls committed: 0
Charges drawn: Unsupported: the feed does not name the player who drew the foul
Late, close steals / blocks: 0 / 0
Overtime steals / blocks: 0 / 0

Play-by-play differs from the box for steals, turnovers; the box score is used and the difference is reported, not resolved. “Late, close” means the last five minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime with the score within five before the event. A turnover without a credited steal is not necessarily a dead ball. Per-possession rates are not shown because on-court time is not independently verified.

DAWG — Recorded Actions · Postseason 1999

37.5Provisional

Average of four component percentiles, 0–100, against her position in the same era; against every position it is 31.3. Compared with guards: her team's roster listing this season. Game-resample stability range 25.0–51.1 (not a credible interval).

Provisional: 50 minutes is below the 150-minute display threshold. The profile is shown but is not ranked; limited minutes pull estimates toward the league.

Play-by-play steals, blocks, rebounds, assists and turnovers match the box score across 6 games. “Late, close” means the last five minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime with the score within five before the event.

How this is calculated, and what it leaves out

DAWG — Recorded Actions covers four selected recorded box-score actions: steals, blocks, offensive rebounds and assists. It omits unrecorded off-ball work such as screens, box-outs, rotations, deflections and closeouts. It is not the full four-pillar DAWG model, and it does not measure motivation, toughness, complete defensive effectiveness or total player value.

Each component is counted per 40 played minutes, including overtime. The observed rate is count ÷ (minutes ÷ 40). The adjusted rate blends that record with the league population, using a Gamma–Poisson model fitted on nearby seasons (1997, 1998, 2000, 2001) and never on the season being scored. Fewer minutes means more pull toward the league average; with many minutes the adjusted and observed rates nearly agree. For high-minute passers the pull is slightly too strong: on the 2026 holdout their adjusted assist rates predicted about 5% worse than their observed rates.

Each player is judged against her own position. Guards, forwards and centres come from her team's roster listing that season (the first letter of a hybrid such as G-F), not from the stats being ranked, so a guard's blocks are compared with other guards' and a centre's assists with other centres'. The DAWG index averages these position-relative percentiles; the league index beside it uses the whole league.

The league-wide reference is frozen and era-local: REG player-seasons in 1999 with at least 160 minutes and all four components observed (111 player-seasons, reference 1c73d79436b0). League rates have changed a lot since 1997 (assists per 40 are roughly 25–35% higher today), so a player is compared with her own era, and the index is not an absolute comparison across eras. The index is the plain average of the four component percentiles, with equal weights chosen as a first-version policy rather than learned basketball values. It is an average of percentiles, not the percentile of the index itself, a probability or points added. If any component is missing, the index is not shown, and the remaining components are never re-weighted.

Turnovers, personal fouls and defensive rebounds are shown separately and are not subtracted. Their meaning depends on role and game context, so the index is a positive-activity profile, not net value.

Covers four selected recorded box-score actions only; unrecorded off-ball work (screens, box-outs, rotations, deflections, closeouts) is omitted.
Percentiles compare each player with her own position group (guards, forwards or centres, from her team's roster listing) in the same era; they are not absolute comparisons across eras or positions. The league-wide index is shown alongside.
Position groups are coarse listings: a hybrid such as G-F counts by its first letter. Players with no listing are compared with the whole league.
An average of component percentiles, not a percentile of the composite, a probability, points added or total player value.
Equal component weights are a fixed policy, not learned basketball values.
Adjusted rates are pulled toward the league-wide average, not the position average, so low-minute guards' blocks and offensive rebounds (and centres' assists) read slightly high within their group.
Turnovers and fouls are shown separately and are not subtracted; the index is a positive-activity profile, not net value.
Does not measure motivation, toughness or complete defensive effectiveness.
Component intervals are conditional empirical-Bayes estimates with fitted hyperparameters; they ignore hyperparameter uncertainty.
Conditional empirical-Bayes interval given fitted hyperparameters; hyperparameter uncertainty is not included.
10th-90th percentile of the index over 300 whole-game resamples with the reference fixed. A stability range, not a credible interval or ranking probability.
Percentiles of players with few minutes sit closer to 50 because their adjusted rates are pulled harder; early-season numbers understate standouts.
