Consistency is really hard to quantify/qualify. As a shooting guard, Triche's job is more to score than to assist. He averaged 9.35 ppg, with a standard deviation of 4.8 ppg. From a scoring standpoint, that's not exactly consistent, with his standard deviation being >50% of his average. Dion averaged 12.6 ppg with a standard deviation of 5.4 ppg, about 43% of his average. One might argue that Dion was the more consistent scorer, but not by much. Scoop's scoring numbers show the highest standard deviation, but his assist numbers are probably the most consistent.
 
These simple numbers don't take into account match-ups or how fluctuations in minutes affect a player... and I should also note that one of this team's strengths was the fact that it didn't need any one player to get at least 15 or 18 points EVERY game to win. As a result, I'd venture to guess that everyone on the team had high standard deviations with respect to their scoring averages.
