I hadn't seen this before, but apparently it was the impetus for Ken Pomeroy's statistical profile pages.

Roboscout and the Four Factors of Basketball Success (http://www.rawbw.com/~deano/articles/20040601_roboscout.htm)

In short:

Shooting the ball
Turnovers
Offensive rebounding
Getting to the foul line.


I think it is easy to forget how important the first one is, and that it can be mitigated by defense and rebounding, until you see a guy like Kevin Durrant.

He goes in depth from an NBA perspective, but I think that they are just as legitimate for the college game.
