This article is a continuation of research aimed at formation of a system of criteria
for the expert evaluation of the basketball players’ actual quality. So far, the external
standards for assessing players’ performance have been defined and described and the
relative importance coefficients of each criterion for the performance evaluation per positions
in the game have been established as well. The purpose of this research was to
test empirically the latter – the weighted system of criteria for evaluating the actual
quality of basketball players proposed by Trnini} and Dizdar (2000). Based on the determined
descriptive indicators and the coefficients of importance of criteria, and on the
degree of the objectivity level (interobservers’ agreement) of the expert evaluations, it can
be concluded that the measuring attributes (objectivity and sensitivity) for most of the
criteria are in accordance with their relative importance coefficients for a particular position
in the game. Consequently, the structure of the relevant criteria for each play position
in the basketball is proposed
