PER WIN ws for Brandon Knight and Eric Bledsoe (for your referrence June)

You divide WS by wins, not games played

Brandon played in 13 of our 15 wins and posted a WS of 2.8, thus to find his WS per game (his estimated contribution PER WIN) you take 2.8 and divide it by 13, giving you a 21.5% contribution to each Bucks win he participated in.

For Eric Bledsoe, he played in 28 wins for the Suns, and posted a 4.1 win share, thus to find his WS per game (his estimated contribution PER WIN) you take 4.1 and divide it by 28, give you 14.6%.

The numbers simply state that for each win played in, Brandon Knight contributed more to his team in that win. You can deduct on this further in any which way you want, but this is a statistical method to prove one players on court impact over another.

One common analogy from this data would conclude that Eric obviously had better teammates around him, so he was required to do less, and that is a valid argument. All I am trying to do is show that there is a statistical model that supports Brandon Knight as the better player, because many have made the claim that this was not the case.
