PER is super flawed (if you look into it you can take a look at the takes of other analysts and their case about usage vs efficiency vs PER). This one as well. Cannot predict 17m for a player that ends up signing the vet min and expect no criticism. There are a lot of smart guys in the business. Obviously all of them know a lot more about basketball than I ever will. Just don´t think that Hollinger is the one. He knows how to sell his stuff and market his numbers but most of them are simple boxscore based metrics. Nothing special.
Hollinger never sold this BORD metric as the one and only metric to calculate player worth.

Because the comment was not about players, it was about the author. I totally agree Whiteside evaluation was wrong. That doesn't say anything about Hollinger, who the comment attacked.
