    Because bench players don't play important roles? :confused: :confused: :confused:

    Wes has lived up to his contract.

    I think that we draft BPA, and not need. Mocks always take need into account. No way we draft Leonard at 11.

    Don't know if you saw it but thought you'd get a kick out of it:

    Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA
    The only thing that's set in stone right now is Anthony Davis going #1 to the New Orleans Hornets. After that, everything is up in the air.

    So insightful

    I can't help but think Olshey in his first draft here would tip his hand.

    Wes had a nice start to the season and then regressed. Wes simply isn't worth this escalating contract:

    $6,505,320

    $6,875,480

    $7,245,640

    I was posting to show that the stats are individual ones. Either way, I'd rather not argue about it on such a fantastic day

    No news. I'm going to eat lunch. (I was going to bring chili to heat up, then decided my tumtum might be too nervous and brought something else.

    PER is normalized such that 15 represents the average NBA starter. Thus observations about him being a glorified bench player are mostly correct; he's slightly below average for a starter.

    I blame Nate. :D

    Aaron Afflalo makes almost $9M per

    Sorry, but Wesley just isn't overpriced.

    I do wonder how much Wes's stats faltered playing with The Dessert Fox as his point guard. That guy could fuck up a wet dream.

    It's average of NBA players, not starters

    Anyone that uses PER 15 as the measuring stick for an average player needs to be shot.

    I despise John Hollinger for creating this

    Afflalo is overpaid as well and has a crappy contract. This may come as a shock, but there are more that 2 bad contracts in the NBA.
