sons who is better? Player A or Player B

[BRHornet45]

Player A

51% FG
19 pts
7.3 rbd
2.3 ast
1.0 stl
1.0 blk
2.0 tov


Player B

43% FG
18 pts
4.9 ast
3.8 rbd
1.4 stl
0.4 blk
2.4 tov


sons as you can see Player A is clearly a far more accurate shooter and scores more points. Player A also rebounds and blocks better, and turns the ball over less. Player B is better at assist and slightly better in steals. who is the better player?

[fevertrees]

Player A no doubt...good call on making it unknown so the fanboy support doesn't come out.

[ElNono]

What are the team records for Player A's team and Player B's team?

[hater]

neither. It's Roddy Beaubois.

[ElNono]

I also need to know how many games each player played, and if those numbers come from an equivalent sample-size (ie: minutes per game)

[JamStone]

minutes per game and team record might change the answer, but based on those stats Player A.

he is comparing David West (player A) to Manu Ginobili (player B)

WNBA lover (lol)……..Can you add some other relevant stats, like… wining % , 4th Q performance and clutch performance please?

If thats the case, why would BR be ignorant enough to even ask the question?

Not necessarily. Stats are worthless without knowing how many minutes each player is getting. How do we know if player A isn't getting more time on the court than Player B or vice versa?

There's also no context in how they score. For all we know Player A could be a Shawn Marion type player where he sees barely any defensive attention and has his offense spoonfed to him whereas Player B could be a guy who has to work harder for his offense and sees a lot of defensive attention.

Edit: If you're comparing a PF to a guard of course the FG% is gonna be higher for the PF lol. And btw I hope those aren't truly West's rebounding numbers. Pathetic for a PF.

which is exactly the case in David West and Manu Ginobili

In that case, let's review per 36 min this season, since West plays more minutes than Manu.

Player A:

51% FG
19.7 pts
33% 3FG
79% FT
7.5 rbd
2.4 ast
1.0 stl
1.0 blk
2.1 tov

Player B:

43% FG
21.5 pts
36% 3FG
87% FT
4.4 rbd
5.6 ast
2.0 stl
0.4 blk
2.7 tov

[nkdlunch]

Chris Bosch > D West. that's how sad this thread is.

[manufan10]

Ian Mahinmi > David West, tbh

BR, on NBA welfare, with the goods, precise style.

The goods seem spoiled and expired.

[ElNono]

Let me add Player C, and let's see if you guys can figure out who it is:

Player C:

42% FG
19.7 pts
34% 3FG
71% FT
7.5 rbd
1.9 ast
0.9 stl
0.5 blk
1.5 tov

As you can see, this player puts up pretty much the same numbers as Player A per 36, but with a much lower FG%... Who is it?

[ElNono]

Sorry to break it to you, West is no better than Antawn Jamison bro.

[Rummpd]

Player B by far if you go by PER and if A is West and B is Ginobili

Ginobili has also a higher TS% than West by the Way.

Manu is a top ten in the West by PER (Hollinger's method but same would hold up if used nba.com method) while West is 18 in the West and trails also Duncan AND Parker.

Chris Paul continues to PERSONALLY lead NO to unreal heights so far while the rest of that team is over-ranked.

lol ignorant and mad spurs fans with the "but but but!!! Manu plays less minutes! in full minutes he is JUST as effective as Lebron!!! he is my hero don't talk bad about him!"

lol you idiots do realize that Manu only plays 3 less minutes per game right? ... its funny how when this argument comes up you only defend Manu's side of it .... well that doesn't make up for the fact that in LESS MINUTES Manu -

1. Turns the ball over like crazy
2. Shoots a pathetic and ty percentage
3. still can't rebound or block worth a damn

Manu plays 32 minutes a game. Spurs fans you need a new excuse.
