I've just noticed again and again that when people here make arguments, they use whatever stat backs them up best. In one thread, someone pointed out that Patty mills had a better ORtg than Parker, but when I pointed out that Aryes had a better ORtg than Kawhi, they immediately switched the stat comparison to WS% or something else.... Also, I was on the other side of the argument in the Josh Smith thread, where I said he was statistically terrible and immediately other posters said things like , "yeah but he played out of position" or "yeah but Van Gundy is terrible" or "yeah, but he's a good defender..." Stats aren't facts of a player's value. They're translations of a player's value.
