IMPACT METRICS

-Backpicks BPM is a proprietary model that focuses on player skill instead of situational value. It is box score only.

-PIPM is a hybrid model (box score and plus-minus) that "luck-adjusts" plus-minus data (regresses FT% and 3pt%) to account for noise and is more sensitive to a player's role/fit on a given team. Created by @JacobEGoldstein

-RAPTOR is 538's model that blends box score information, plus-minus data and player tracking data to estimate player impact.
