THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN BASKETBALL PLAYERS’ TIMES IN THE GAME AND THEIR PERFORMANCE: A COMPARISON OF EUROLEAGUE-EUROBASKET

Öz

Bu çalışmada, Euroleague takımlarında yer alan Avrupalı oyuncuların, ilgili Euroleague sezonu bitiminde gerçekleştirilen Eurobasket turnuvasındaki performansları araştırılmıştır. Oyuncuların sürelerindeki artış veya azalışlar sonucunda elde edilen hücum veya savunma performansları, istatistiksel testler ile araştırılmış ve yorumlanmıştır.

Oyuncuların sürelerindeki değişikliklerin attıkları sayılar ve asist sayıları üzerinde etkisi olmadığı bulunurken (p>0,05), aldıkları rebound sayısı üzerinde etkili olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Rebound ortalamalarında değişiklikler bulunan oyuncular arasında istatistiksel olarak farklılık bulunurken (p<0,05), diğer kategorilerde farklılık bulunmamıştır (p>0,05). Aldıkları süre artan oyuncuların sayı, rebound ve asistlerindeki artışların istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Benzer şekilde, oyundaki süreleri azalan oyuncuların ortalama rebound ve asist sayılarındaki artışların istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmadığı (p>0,05), fakat sayısal değerlerdeki artışların istatiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0,05).

Sonuç olarak kulüp takımlarında az süre alan oyuncuların Milli takımlarda başarılı performans sergileyemedikleri buna karşılık kulüp takımlarında yeterince süre alan oyuncuların Milli takımlarda daha az süre alsalar bile başarılı oldukları belirlenmiştir. Gelecek vaat eden oyuncuların da önünü açmak için Basketbol Süper liginde yabancı oyuncu sayısında kısıtlamaya gidilmesi ile bu sorunun aşılacağı düşünülmektedir.

THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN BASKETBALL PLAYERS’ TIMES IN THE GAME AND THEIR PERFORMANCE: A COMPARISON OF EUROLEAGUE-EUROBASKET

Öz

In this study, the performances of the European players in the Euroleague teams at the Eurobasket tournament held at the end of the relevant Euroleague season were investigated. The offensive or defensive performances of the players as a result of increases or decreases in their duration time were investigated and interpreted with statistical tests.

While the changes in the players’ times were not found to have an influence on the points they scored and the number of assists (p>0.05), they were found to have an influence on the number of rebounds they got (p<0.05). While statistical difference was found between players in whose rebound averages changes were found (p<0.05), no difference was found in other categories (p>0.05). The increases in the number of points, rebounds and assists of players whose times increased were found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Similarly, the increases in the average rebounds and assists of players whose times in the game decreased were not found to be statistically significant (p>0.05), however, the increases in numerical values were found to be statistically significant (p<0.05).

As a result, it was determined that the players who took less time in their club teams did not perform successfully in the National teams, whereas the players who took enough time in the club teams were successful even if they took less time in the National teams. This problem is thought to be overcome by limiting the number of foreign players in the Basketball Super League in order to pave the way for promising players.
