    That is the one thing that sticks out too me is Cho saying he is a stat guy. That's scary stuff folks. Can you judge players like Batum on stats? I hate stat guys because they are NERDS who never had a spec of athletic ability now trying to make basketball a scientific equation. STAT GUY?? REALLY?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Amare Stoudemire is a STAT guy. Call him a nerd. He'd probably beat you to within an inch of your life. That's what jocks do.

    You just can't let these kids come on here and start threads. Denny will you handle this, this is getting out of control! This is what caused the Great Migration of '08!

    Good size and run/jump measurements for a SF, high shooting % from the field, 3 point range, and the line. High PER trending up, etc... etc... Yeah, you can. I like that the new GM is a math guy/hoops geek... from the sounds of it, I'm sure he's following his own favorite mathematical trends/systems that we don't find on basketballreference and the like.

    what was your last handle here?

    Did Michael Jordan's Airness translate to assembling a competitive team?? Stat is not all but it isn't a bad thing to be smart with numbers. .

    To Sonic fans, Cho was the stat guy under GM Sund. He came up with new Hollinger-like formulas. He was also their CBA and cap specialist. He was not a talent evaluator, in person, just on the computer. In OKC, GM Presti had him scout this last season, his only scouting experience.

    The OP is right to be alarmed. But a good scouting staff will compensate.

    HCP is a Maurice Lucas, the board enforcer.
