Of the 76 players in the NBA making $20M+ this season, Tobias ranks 57th in “value”

This is a quick and fast snapshot of just how bad Tobias has been, and how damaging it is that a guy making $39M per season is not contributing much at all.

Salary data comes from here: [https://hoopshype.com/salaries/players/](https://hoopshype.com/salaries/players/)

EPM and EWINS are from [dunksandthrees.com](https://dunksandthrees.com) you will need a sub to see all the data for all players if you follow that link

So basically here is what you are looking at:

23/24 is the player’s salary for this season. “Salary Rank” is the rank of the player’s salary out of 76, with the lowest salary being 76 and the highest salary being 1

EPM = Estimated Plus Minus, probably the best publicly available statistic that describes past performance (DARKO is the best predictive stat)

EWINS = EPM + volume/playing time factored in. That is why Embiid is #1 in EPM but only 9th in EWINS.

Win / $$ = The player’s salary divided by their EWINS. The smaller the number, the lower the “cost” of each win they added. Lower is better, as you can see from the chart. SGA leads the NBA in EWINS at 17.06 and is making $33.4M. Brunson is only 10th in EWINS, but shows up 2nd in my made up metric because hes making $7m less this season than SGA. You get the idea.

Tobias has the 19th highest salary in the league, but ranks 56th in EPM and 46th in EWINS. When you factor in his salary and his EWINS, he ranks 57th in terms of “impact”

When you get down to the guys who produced less than 1 EWIN, the Wins/$$ get wonky but it serves its purpose in illustrating the least value big contracts out there.

EDIT: if you change the cutoff from $20m+ to $30m+, he ranks 36th out of 44 players
