KS, your prediction of 19 for Lillard tells me that you think that it's points scored, but actually that prediction is for total player contribution. Per Gramps' rules for the game, it's calculated based on the following stats and formula:

Points & Rebounds (face value)
Assists & Blocks (value * 1.5)
Steals (value * 2)
Turnovers (value * -2)

Assuming player X had 15 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block, 2 steals and 4 turnovers the contribution would be as follows:
15 + 6 + (4 * 1.5) + (1 * 1.5) + (2 * 2) - (4 * 2) = 15 + 6 + 6 + 1.5 + 4 - 8 = 24.5

If Dame only has a player contribution of 19, we're screwed.

 

This reminds me of a program I was writing today, where I was just assigning values for things at random because my brain was just too tired to do real math. When my boss asks me how I came up with those numbers I'm just going to have to say, the drugs were all over the counter.
