Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4040260, member: 3535"] For me- I think comparing a bench low post player vs a regular starter primarily a perimeter player by using a stat that heavily favors low post players is not the correct comparison to use for this PER stat. Overall- looking at how the stat seems to favor Aubrey last year over CWill and Evina, imo shows a major flaw in the stat if used as a comparison in this manner. Just as in 2019 that the WNBA top 10 PER stats show either 9 or 10 or all 10 of the best players as tops in the league were low post players. [I]Also digging into the stats it shows that only once in Sue Bird’s entire WNBA career was she in the top 10 in PER and that was 2004 in which she was number 10 only. To further that- bench player in NBA Enes Kanter’s top 3 PER years are superior to Larry Bird’s 1st 3 years in NBA in which he was All-NBA 1st team.[/I] With all this data—for me it seems like PER can’t be used when comparing bench players vs starters and/or low post players vs perimeter players. Too many other factors. [/QUOTE]
