    At least the guy's upfront that these rankings are completely based off of warp and nothing else. Im not a fan of using one single statistic and saying this stat proves how good or bad this player is. There is no one stat that shows a players full impact.

    Unless you're talking about Meyers Leonard... then every single stat tells the full impact.

    I'm right there with ya. It's my single most hated stat - and here I use the term "stat" loosely.

    A true evaluator in talent use these stats in combination with others. Also, they determine the actual role of the players.

    Example: a defensive player doesn't need PER to show their value.

    Lazy scouting is using meaningless individual stats to value a player

    In before someone whines about Lillard being too low.

    Oops, too late

    No one said he was too low, they said Lowry was too high. So, your statement would still be true.

    Isn't "Wins over replacement" just as much a measure of how crappy your bench is?
