I did however come up with a formula I really like to come up with what a players overall rating should be.

Take the players average PER over a 3 year period.

Subtract 15 from that number (15 is the league average PER)

Multiply that by 1.6 and add 75. Adust a few points one way or the other depending on the defensive skill for that particular player.

Ex 1 Kobe Bryants average PER over the last 3 years is 22.613
Subtract 15 and you get 7.613
Multiply by 1.6 and you get 12.181
Add 75 and you get about an 87 overall but Kobe is considered a very good defender so i would bump it to high 80's or low 90's overall.

Ex 2 Ben Gordon avg 3 year PER is 13.567
Subtract 15 and you get -1.433
Multiply by 1.6 to get -2.29
Add 75 and you get 72.703 or about a 73 but Gordon is a notoriously poor defender so subtract a few points and you get about a low 70 overall.

Works great for me in determining about what a player should be rated overall.
