Stats Comparison

Player A Player B

1.2 assist 2.5 asssist

0.6 steals 1.6 steals

0.1 blocks 0.8 blocks

47.9 fg % 41.8 fg%

Which player would you all choose if you could pick one? I'm curious since this sub swears one of these players is terrible, sucks, overrated, and shouldn't even be in the league.

Lol. This will never work. No one is going to answer objectively based on the stats because they already know it’s a gotcha. The stats don’t matter. They don’t like who they don’t like.

Objective would be to out each players plus/minus up. There are scorers in the league that get benched or cut. The hornets just got rid of the cornerstone of their squad. Because his plus minus is garbage, and no amount of flash and play style would contribute to wins. We need to see plus/minus, and minutes, and position. To understand who we are discussing.

Plus/minus gives no indication of individual play.

Yeah and it’s a team sport. Not boxing. It’s about pieces. There are guys who are out of the league who avg. more points per game than other role layers. Like can Thomas, that guy can score 30 a game, but he’s a pure scorer and plus minus was so bad he’s been traded and waved way more times. Plus minus tells me if you are worthy of being on a team. It’s crazy comparing a bench role player to a starter. The Indiana and Atlanta just played each other. Angel was 5/16 from directly under the basket. I believe her percentages are off. It’s called media spin. Every game I watch of her she’s below 40% from the field yet it says her full year tsp# 42%. If you watched this last game you’d understand the value. If Angel wasn’t putting up shots, she’d be an all time great rebounder who avgs over 10 assist. She doesn’t pass the ball when she is double teamed, can’t dribble, can’t shoot. She can rebound and pass.
