80. "TS% = points per possession for an individual, i.e. possibly misleading" In response to In response to 79 Wed Mar-06-13 02:40 PM by celery77
it tells you something, but not everything, hence my gripe about lack of context.
e.g. the Rudy Gay problem in Memphis isn't just about Rudy Gay's TS%. yes, it's part of it, but it's also about the style of play which putting Rudy Gay in the lineup necessitates. faith-based narratives would say "this is good because it means more touches for Marc Gasol" which style of possession oriented points per possession metrics (outside of TS%) tell us would be an accurate observation.
reducing it simply to a tale of TS% with Rudy Gay doesn't really tell the whole story.
