    Isn't WARP the same stat that put Kyle Korver ahead of Chandler Parsons?

    Who cares? WARP has proven to be a very stupid stat with these listings. ESPN should just give up and quit trying to promote a stupid stat.

    Not saying love is available in any way. But I think he is not only a better fit for this team and a better fit next to Howard. But he is several notches above aldrich.

    I think most big men in the NBA are better than Cole Aldrich. :grin:

    The Rockets will kindly take this mediocre PF off of Portland's hands!

    This means projected WARP is stupid.

    Imagine a poster here doing Top Ten rankings using some new stat they invented, and it didn't have Parker or Aldridge in the top 10 PGs and PFs. He'd be laughed off the board.

    I actually wonder if anyone would even make such a post promoting their fancy new stat.

    It is freaking embarrassing to promote a stat that leaves Parker and Aldridge off the list. It's close to being Troll-ish of ESPN to get people to click their posts.

    Lol isn't this the same stat that put Lowry as the 8th best point guard and Parker not even in the top ten? Oh, and the one that put Parsons 10th behind like Korver? Yea, this stat is a joke in terms of actually ranking the players

    That's why I stopped posting these, they went from bad to ridiculously terrible. Doesn't account for defense properly at all when Omer didn't even come in at top 15 for the center position. :rolleyes:

    What's the methodology behind projecting WARP?
