What should hopefully be the opinion of everyone is who the farg pays attention to [I]"usage rate"[/I] when deciding upon what is considered being a key contributor?  Call me crazy, but the stats I posted for you is what the vast majority of stat pages cover, and what most people pay attention to, as well as some others, although I didn't see anything on[I]"usage rate." [/I] Knock yourself out as far as that category is concerned if that is what you are selectively choosing in your weak attempt to convince me, or anyone else for that matter, that Mikal was simply a roll player last year based upon his productive stats as those stats speak for itself.

[I]Usage Percentage (available since the 1977-78 season in the NBA); the formula is 100 * ((FGA + 0.44 * FTA + TOV) * (Tm MP / 5)) / (MP * (Tm FGA + 0.44 * Tm FTA + Tm TOV)). Usage percentage is an [B]estimate[/B] of the percentage of team plays used by a player while he was on the floor. [/I]

I'll stick with the other stats vs. some math formula/equation based upon an "estimate," not to mention seemingly used in the NBA vs. college.
