my other quibble with your analysis would be that a turnover is far worse than an assist is good.
how so? isn't an assist worth more than two points and a turnover worth less than two?
Turnovers come from not using your head and making poor decisions (which plagued the Cats all season long). I am more forgiving (but not much more) of Jake's turnovers b/c most of them cam from being aggresive. Everyone else on the team had more turnovers from dumb passes or telegraphing passes. Assists also take 2 people to complete whereas a turnover is normally a product of 1's effort (or lack thereof).
It's an empirical fact that on a purely statistical basis, Assists are worth more than TOs cost. I just simplified the analysis to simple percentages to make it easier for non-stat geeks to understand. The actual in-depth statistical analysis gives Southwell even more of an edge. And, if you're "more forgiving of Jake's turnovers" because they resulted from aggression, how can you not give Shane the same treatment? Either way, though, that's nothing more than a "gut feel" thing, and doesn't mean much at all in relation to reality.
