Absolutely.
And my favorite stat (On/Off +/-) really only tells you about fit WITHIN a specific team. It MIGHT predict how well a guy will fit on other teams....BUT it may not.
For instance DB has consistently been a positive on almost all his teams...the WAS team this year was his only negative since his rookie year. So it was a fair bet that he would find a way to fit as a positive with DAL. But SD has been all over the place ranging from -6.7 to +4.4 (in the larger sample sizes) often times bouncing back and forth from year to year. When I looked at those numbers along with his shooting numbers and injury history I came to the conclusion that it would be unlikely he would be a positive with DAL. But I was dead wrong it seems.
