"Team Efficiency Rating?"

Hollinger's PER has become a wonder statistic of sorts and is now used to represent just about anything that you want it to represent. The most basic application of the rating is to compare players on the basis of their per-minute efficiency, but what begins as "Which of these players is playing the most efficiently?" quickly turns into "Who got the better end of this trade?", "Which of these ...
