First move in the offseason

It's not misleading unless they've played so little that it's not a reliable representation of what they produce (like if they played 30 minutes total in a season). The only way to cross compare players statistics is to normalize it to an equal number of minutes.

Go ahead and think they wouldn't average that much as a starter, but those stats would presented to counter the claim that they were "much worse offensively than Plumlee". But you obviously missed that point.

Luke babbitt averaged 14 points and 6 rebounds per 36 while shooting 40% from 3pt land. Let's sign him!!! His per 36 is good!!!

Per 36 Quincy acy averaged 13 and 7. Shooting 56% from the field and 39% from 3. Let's sign him!!!!

I can post bullshit players all day with a good per 36. Using Per 36 to figure out if a player is good, is like trying to solve a complex problem with elementary algebra, when you really need an algorithm.
Per 36 is bullshit. The eye test can tell a lot more.

Really? How do you know Ryan Anderson sucks defensively? How much film have you watched of his defense? Overall he's -.2%, which indicates that he's average. Damian Lillard was +3.8, which is not good.

Festus averaged 15 points per 36 last year, while shooting 55%. Mason averaged 13 while shooting 52%. Cole averaged 15 while shooting 57% (and 71% from the FT line). Pretty silly to say they are "way worse offensively than Plumlee". (aminu is not even in the picture since he doesn't play center).

16 pts and 12 rebounds on 51% shooting. Guess what center that is?
Kaman, last year when he played 70 something games. I think I've made my point.
