2013 Mar NBA Season lOT| Change This Face, Be Happy, Enjoy it!

Bobcats gunning to break their season MOV record from last year I see. Will be hard since they're at -9.7 this year and were at -13.9 last year, but with their recent performances, they have a shot at it.

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world he’d rather have. The problem is, Dwyane’s not a woman.
Rockets look like poop and Tmac looks like Urkel.
 
YNB is sixth in scoring, fifth in assists, and seventh in steals.

He's also 24. He hasn't missed a game in his career.

His stats are better than Parker's in every meaningful category for a PG, and he's six years younger.

What's the turnover comparison in late-game situations? FG%? I would take Parker any day, easily.
 
Efficiency stats aren't meaningful? Is from the Vag-Konex dissertations or something.

Efficiency stats like PER? He's #9 in the league there.

He's #5 in the Value Added category:

Also #5 in Estimated Wins Added:

In conclusion, hate all you want but YNB is better than your favorite player. Easily top ten.

YNB's TS% is barely league average

you're on the wacky tabacky if you think he's anywhere near as good as Parker

Westbrook TS%: 53.3%
Parker TS%: 59.5%

Westbrook TO%: 14.0%
Parker TO%: 12.5%


It's a pretty large difference.

I'm not dumb enough to argue that he's a better shooter than Parker. Just that he scores more, gets more assists, more steals, and matches or surpasses him on value added and estimated wins added to his team.

People hate on him because he's young and makes a few boneheaded plays a game. The rest of the time, he's killing folks out there.
 
Parker's a better player than Westbrook, but it's not a stretch to call Westbrook more valuable to his team. Westbrook's probably a better defensive player than Parker as well and relies less on screens.

How about efficency stats like FG%,eFG%,TS%. Parker crushes him. How about stats in the 4th quarter? Who do you trust?Also, Parker has a higher PER if you like that sorta thing.

Jrue Holiday gets more assist than YNB and he plays for Philly so I don't know how much stock you want to put in that. According to that estimated value list, ynb adds more wins than CP3, lol bro.


In conclusion, hate all you want but YNB is dumber than your favorite player.Easily top 10 dumbest in the league.

YNB is generally too much of a fucking idiot to play consistently good defense (hell, consistently do anything)

as such, Parker's holding opposing PGs to a lower PER this year
 
Overall? No way. Westbrook gives you way more defense and hustle while bringing just as much scoring and arguably more play-making..

He's also 6 years younger, plays more minutes, never misses a game, and has higher upside than Parker. If the Thunder were offered a one for one swap they would laugh. SA would pull that trigger.
