An interesting stat comparison

by Rook6980 on Jul 2, 2009 10:01 PM EDT

Stats aren't everything. Intangibles like character, leadership, work ethic, intelligence and decision making are just as important as "production".

Player	MIN	PTS	REB	FG%	3P%	FT%	STL	BLK	TO	PF	AST	PER	TS%
Player A	35.1	20.8	10.1	.475	.330	.734	.86	.32	2.28	2.66	2.1	19.72	53.1
Player B	38.2	22.2	8.9	.468	.351	.754	1.17	.31	1.54	2.69	1.9	20.63	54.9

Both players are 6'9" Power Forwards.

Despite being slightly undersized, and not the most athletic players, both get the job done.
Neither one plays very much defense. Neither one is much of a shot blocker or help defender.
Player A rebounded a bit better. Player B had a slightly lower TO rate.
Player A is 6 years younger than Player B

One player is a valuable asset - with trade value; is admired by his teammates and adored by fans.

The other, well let's just say that any team he played for was immediately trying to trade him.

Antawn Jamison and Zach Randolph

Damn

I was late to the game. I figured that’s who it was. Randolph is a waste. He’s extremely talented, but he doesn’t want to put in the work, and he’s a knucklehead. If he tried stepping into the weight room he could be dominant. Jamison, on the other hand, squeezes every ounce of talent he has out of a body that is usually undersized and a step slow.

David West is very similar to those two, as well

I still would take either him or AJ over Z Bo in a heartbeat, though. Randolph seems to dribble around too much, while Antawn is basically a catch and shoot player who really doesn’t need the ball a lot to score. It’s crazy, too, how much of a disconnect there is between Randolph’s numbers and his win shares; he really does do as little as is humanly possible to help his team win while he gets his 20 and 10.
