Didn't you say wins produced is based mainly on individual stats? So you add up every ones individual stats and get a percentage of how many of the teams wins those stats have produced correct? If that's the case then I am correct its not an actual measurable stat. Guys could have there best games of the year in losses and those awesome stats contribute to their wins produced stat when they didn't win in those games or are the stats only collected from winning games. Stats are also not all equal for the roll a player plays on a specific team and do not tell the whole story they are great tools to help you understand what's going on but not the be all end all. I mean I could go on and on but basically no one has produced any wins by themselves with their stats. They have contributed to wins but not produced them.
Your explanation on CJ just shows how truly arbitrary this stat is because all things are not equal or provable by your own admission above. I don't need to understand how that stat works to know its not real when you have to combine a bunch of other stats and perform a mathematical equation to get your answer, no matter how simple that equation is. You've simply taken real stats (which can be great indicators but do nit tell the whole story) and come up with a formula that gives you a new made up stat trying to indicate the players over all value against said teams wins. Basketball isn't as simple as breaking it down into math IMO.
