Re: NBA Draft & Offseason Thread

You will find no stats head who claims that PER is the pinnacle of advanced stats. All of them acknowledge that no one stat is coming close to measuring a players true value.

Oh, ok I didn't know that. I though per was basically the big one to use.

Edit: also Kobe's best year is the 105th best year ever according to per. Come on, really? I just can't buy it.

 

 

??? On NBA reference... His best year is 54th all time. http://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/per_season.html

 

When you got like Wilt/MJ/Shaq/Lebron taking up like 35 of the top 50 best seasons ever... You can see why Kobe is down the list. The biggest knock on him is his FG%. One way to look at it is that it's impressive he's up that high with a lower FG% then the guys that are around him on that list.

 

The one that bothers me is Hakeem Olajuwon best year in PER (92-93) is 71st all time. He avg 26 pts, 13 rebs, 3.5 ast, 1.8 stls, and 4.2 blks!!!! a game on 52.9 FG% and 77.9 FT%.

Man I must have read it wrong, but still that low?

Harden having a monster game tonight in his Rockets debut. Interesting as I was told he by some he would suck in Houston.
