This is the first edition of John Hollinger's seminal Pro Basketball Prospectus/Forecast series, and it's an awesome first entry; every bit as insightful as its baseball counterpart. Hollinger's Player Efficiency Rating (PER) is not perfect as a measure of a player's contributions, but it sure is a lot better than most of what else is out there, and he readily admits its limitations. Hollinger provides useful information about every single player in the league, breaking down his stats and giving a detailed, sometimes funny (like when he calls Michael Olowokandi "the league's biggest fraud") scouting report. Every team section contains an essay on some subject, inspired by the team and its policies/play during the season. This is a must-read for all basketball fans who are looking to appreciate the game on a level beyond watching the ball go in the hoop.
