Is points per 40 a meaningful stat for players that start and play majority of the minutes? I mean if Wiggins can't either get in shape or stop fouling it shouldn't reflect poorly on our guy.
Points per 40 (or 100) is a great stat for measuring how well a player scores. If you play a lot of minutes, that means you need to score a lot more points to maintain a high number with this stat. As you can see from
looking at previous seasons, anytime a player can score over 30 pts per 100 possessions they are really good and are likely an all league 1st or 2nd team caliber player.
The biggest critique of the numbers right now is that they are no way indicative of what this season may bring because the sample size is so small, but it is still fun to look at.
