NEWARK, NJ – Take a bow Pete Dill. The Manley/NBA efficiency formula for player ratings has been discussed here. Simply, we add the positives as points, FGM, FTM, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals. From that number turnovers and missed shots are subtracted for our total.

Taking it a step farther we can get an efficiency per minute buy dividing efficiency by the minutes played. This can be valuable looking at a number of game or a season. For one game, it also has its value.

The efficiency per minute for the St. John’s game gave us a surprise leader.

This is what a small size sample gives us. Fan favorite Pete Dill logged 2 minutes, had two steals and 2 assists, one he passed up a shot in the paint to find a teammate wide open underneath. On the per minute basis, anything 1.00 or above is exceptional. A 2.00 is right off the charts. Again, the small size allows us to seriously look with admiration of the work of Auda, Mobley and Theodore to name a few. But for the two minutes given him, Pete Dill made the most of them.

“Pete Dill is a great guy and wonderful to have around. He is so positive good comes from him being on your team, in your school or work place. But he still might be one of the worst players I’ve ever seen.” – Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard
