You also seem really pleased with yourself for someone who appears to think linear regression is the ultimate analysis tool. I have no problem with using stats but don't act like a jerk if people don't agree with you. Sometimes a player improves. How are you modelling that? Your rather primitive analysis of JS is predicated on the theory that players are statues that can't or don't improve their skills or approach to the game.

Nobody needs a calculator to see JS is playing the best ball of his career right now. He is rebounding, making the extra pass, and utilizing a mid- and short-range game that he simply didn't have last year. That is current data. It's a small sample size, sure, but so is what you are using. He hasn't exactly racked up the minutes in his career. I'm not saying he'll be the next Carmelo, but he looks like a player that can help the team. Why do you want to act like everyone who thinks that is not worthy to bow at your feet?
