Unfortunately 538’s RAPTOR will not be updated this season. While it wasn’t the best metric I have been using it for years and it had been doing a decent job at analyzing a players impact on both sides of the ball.

I’ve been trying to find another all-in-one metric to use now that RAPTOR is gone. EPM is the other metric I usually use, but that hasn’t been updated yet.

What advance metric do you think is the best to capture a current season a player is having?

    I think all these analytics sites that use tracking data haven’t been updated since the last season. If that will continue to be the case, you probably need to go back to boxscore based metrics simply because there aren’t no other options in terms of all-in-one metric.

    EPM, LEBRON, and DARKO are the best. DARKO is the best for projections and EPM is the best for a single season imo. You’re going to have to wait though and EPM has made sorting/filtering without paying a pain in the butt.

      I like DARKO a lot for long samples, but sometimes I just want to see how a player is doing in a single season and it’s tough to narrow it down.

      And I agree with EPM. It used to be easy to sort by team or position and now you can’t even do either. The fact that you can’t look back to previous seasons is annoying as hell.
