I guess it kind of depends on what you value the assist as. I would characterize it as 1/3 of the effort (finding the open man vs. getting open and scoring). So you had 2.7 more assists than Fevre but 2.8 less points. Our average point per FGM this season was 2.135 (and yours was 2.058)
2.7*2.058/3 = 1.85 pts added. You'd have to conclude that an assist is worth half of a basket to make the differences equal which isn't unreasonable but then you also had higher turnovers.
That said I probably should have considered Youzhi as I did earlier in the season.
Serious question. Why divide by 3 to come up with points added? Taking the numbers as legit, if my team averaged 2.058 points per FGM (field goal made, right?), then why divide by 3? An assist only recorded when a bucket is made, so wouldn't it just be 2.7*2.058?
On a different note, all the stats I posted were assist to turnover ratio. Nobody countered any of that in the discussion, only assists as a whole. I didn't argue straight assists. The counter arguments are some of the reasons why. I think when you look at assist:TO ratio, some big discrepancies are easy to see between players.
I am glad Fevre was brought up though as his is my biggest objection to being listed as a PG. He only played in 10 league games as a PG, which is less then half. He played a majority of league games as a SG. The way the game engine works, of course he has fewer Assists and TOs and more shot attempts. :)
I did make the "but the these teams were good this year, so thus they have to have all-stars on the team" argument. :) DC and I each made a very deep cup run knocking out NBBA teams and still finished with the top 2 records in the league while also playing in the toughest conference. I just think that out of the 10-12 starters on both our teams combined, one would be able to find
oneplayer worthy of being in the top 3 in their respective position.
All that said, I bought Cots to be my SG, I just couldn't find/ afford a PG that was better, so he became my PG.
In trying to create an all star team, as you mentioned, without having good information about defensive contributions, it is basically impossible to build a perfect team that can withstand all criticism.
