That's because all you gave us to go on was a handful of regular season numbers. Nothing about defensive impact (other than blocks and steals, which don't necessarily mean much). Nothing about how a player elevates his game in big moments.
Doesn't it depend on the teammates? Blue is good for a team that has high defense. Black is good for a team that is efficient scorer but is poor on defense. And even that is subjective.
I chose black because of the better all around game and good defensive stats. I guessed that these were all big men, and that blue was Shaq (because of the high FG%).
WOOHOO! I chose black too. Yes some of the other guys had more assists, however it was obvious we were looking at big men, so assists wasn't an issue. Black had more points, more rebounds and more blocks than the rest. With the assumption all 3 were big men, black was the most logical option. You don't just automatically got for green because he was a more all round player with the context of it being a big man.
Exactly, it is just evidence that numbers alone don't quantify the value of any given player. Prime examples: Tmac/AI, absolutely great numbers, but don't help teams win, vs a player like Battier who has useless numbers but any contender would LOVE to have him on their team. Not saying Battier is better than Tmac or AI just using him as a comparison for the purpose of crap numbers doesn't = a crap player.
