Lacking better judgement, I will weigh in on RoCo vs DoDo. . . . .
Stats only, no names player comparisons are a common gimmick. I've learned to simply pic the player making the fewest bucks and say "good observation" and move on down the proverbial road, but," Scottie, a certified devil's advocate and board contrarian, quite possibly in that that "time of the month" or "red flag" ,as my filipina wife refers to it, chose to escalate the discussion to one of those evolution vs creation mini board wars, a veritable monkey trial.
Fifteenth, playing the part of William Jennings Bryan, came back with righteous vengeance and indignation.
What I learned from the discussion is that I have no idea how to compare players. I'm an "eye test" guy who uses the box score when I can't watch. (I read Luka's stat line first, then look at KP's rebounds, then it's on to Maxi vs Powell.) Charles Barkley told me to ignore analytics, let alone the dreaded 'advanced analytics."
Now I've learned I can't compare players without factoring salary, so it's not "RoCo vis DoDo," but "Roco vs DoDo plus Seth."
Thanks guys!
