    Doesnt surprise me at all that he's the worst. IMO, the only reason he's on the roster is to have a center to scrimmage against in practice.

    I'm not arguing with PER as a statistical model. I just think there can be different ways, using other stats, to interpret its meaning.

    Also, that post sounds like a few of the posters criticizing our work in the PER and Usage thread. ;)

    "Usage sucks! Um, errr, that's not what Usage measures?? Usage still sucks!!!"

    And another stupid comment. Unless you think both Mixum and myself play in the NBA?

    Haters are going to hate.

    I rather enjoy watching Marks put punk-bitches on layup posters.

    The fact that Jonny Flynn isn't even in their Top 15 makes this a rather useless list.

    Marks, Babbit and Johnson are the backup big men . . . unfortuantely in no particular order.

    Yeah, as if to say "wow tons of guys with a crappy PER," not as some kind of rebuttal for anything you had to say -- which is the tone of your following comments.

    I'm saying there are explanations for some of the "crappy" PERs. That doesn't mean they still aren't crappy, but a guy like Jonny Flynn really stands out in his crappiness because his coach is using him as if he's a "good" player.

    Is getting on the floor and stinking it up worse than not playing at all?

    He's trying to deflect from the fact that last year he was adamant that Blake should have been the starter over Miller. Now that its proven Blake sucks, he's trying to put the focus on another player, Johnny Flynn in this case.

    With a healthy Brandon Roy, I still think Blanky is a better fit next to him. That said, my post had nothing to do with Steve Blake. Plus, since you mention it, Flynn is worse than Blake. What a freaking bust that guy is at this point!

    Better to be a great person/bad player than a great player/bad person.
