I don't subscribe. I have been really getting into barttorvik.com, who if you read his explanations, he claims his numbers are very similar to Kenpom. He does explain how he differs and why that is. It's free, so I run with that.

I really like some of the player stats that show how even some guys who aren't the top scorer are really hard to replace on the court due to their overall performance. Shows how valuable some teams can be even if they don't seem like a powerhouse.

There's so much data. And some of the advanced stats, especially the defensive ones, he admits are hard to really glean meaning from.
