Why do ISH posters put such a high value on PER?
It's a neat formula but I don't get why it's such a go to on here?
To me it's like trusting Sports Science to evaluate players.

Re: Why do ISH posters put such a high value on PER?
Most only use it when it supports their agenda, i avoid it since its kinda useless and has too many errors although it can be helpful sometimes

Advanced stats are garbage to me. Give me the base stats, give me some game tape and let me decide who's the best at this or that. These PER/DRPM/Whatever formulas can be severely misleading and I don't trust them.

Thing is even stat geeks abandoned PER a long time ago.

Re: Why do ISH posters put such a high value on PER?
I like it, but never use it as an end-all point in an argument. For the most part though, PER recognizes the best players in the league, so it's a good indicator of who is better than the rest

It can overrate and underrate certain players, but other than that seems like a solid metric.

Re: Why do ISH posters put such a high value on PER?
RPM/RAPM is by far the best advanced stat (not boxscore based). PER/Winshares are basically useless. PER is NBA passer rating - Just a collection of raw stats.
Also, people on here use it much less than on other sites.

Re: Why do ISH posters put such a high value on PER?
ISH posters put the most value on whatever stat, real or imagined, makes their guy look better than someone else's guy.

Very good NBA starter
Re: Why do ISH posters put such a high value on PER?
If used right there is no problem with it.
It's a conglomerate of all the stats.
If you want to see who had the best stats for a given season, look at PER and you'll usually have your answer.
Of course, that won't tell you who the best player is. To see who the best player is, you'll have to add in your own judgement of that player's defense/off-the ball offense/intangibles/hustle/bball IQ and other things that don't show up in stats.

Re: Why do ISH posters put such a high value on PER?
Funny enough, MJ and LeBron have the two highest career PERs of all time ... and honestly, I think that's pretty telling. They're pretty much 1A and 1B in my mind. PER probably underrates Bird, Magic ... and Kobe a bit too.
A Year For the Ages: 35.0 - unheard of
Runaway MVP Candidate: 30.0 - Truly elite, the LeBron's, Curry's, MJ's, peak Dwade and Chris Paul
Strong MVP Candidate: 27.5 - top 5 most likely
Weak MVP Candidate: 25.0 - top 7 player usually
Bona fide All-Star: 22.5 - borderline superstar, if not outright superstar
Borderline All-Star: 20.0 - id say generally all star
2nd Pineapple: 18.0 - about right
3rd Banana: 16.5 - wiggins at this point?
Pretty good player: 15.0
In the rotation: 13.0
Scrounging for minutes: 11.0
Definitely renting: 9.0
The Next Stop: DLeague 5.0
seems about right to me.

Boban Marjanovic fits into the "top 5 most likely" category.

Should've added the caveat that you have to have a large enough sample of games, and really just compare people at similar positions -- bigs to bigs, guards to ball dominant wings to guards.
Also assess team situation.

Lol, base stats are even more misleaading, so that's a pretty stupid thing to say
