I dont think ANYONE can ACTUALLY say Splitter is playing better ball than David Lee.

Players tend to have a higher PER in limited minutes. PER also judges efficiency which is different than impact. So you want the top 3 in PER from each position to make the all star team?

Do you think Gregg Smith is a top 10 player in the nba?

PER and efficiency isn't synonymous. And which players you have in mind to say that their PER is inflated by their lack of minutes? Shouldn't more mins = more counting stats = a higher PER?

Do you think Gregg Smith is a top 10 player in the nba?

No, but he produces like one in the minutes he's given.

No... Top ten? Thought we were comparing the PF position for the All Star game. Never said anyone was better. Just said that these players had better numbers. Also didn't include Duncan who leads the pack. Also note: Splitter has had a better PER than Lee last season also. So wouldn't you think that's a bit telling?

Why aren't Greg Smith and Splitter playing 38mpg

[Monta is beast]

Metrics?

Common sense

[sf-fanatic]

I can probably name at least 10 players whos PER decreased due to more minutes.

I get that... And if its an issue take Splitter out and add Duncan. Now what?

Then you are just speaking common sense?

No one argued Duncan was a better player than Lee?

[Hawkeye15]

no, he will get buried by the norms unfortunately.

[b@llhog24]

Regardless: The Thread is asking if David Lee is an all-star. Tell me which of these players has he proven to be better than:

Love
Griffin
Zbo
Duncan
Al Jeff/Paul Milsap
LMA
Dirk (I don't kno when he's scheduled to comeback however)
Ryan Anderson
Duncan
Gasol.

His chances are EXTREMELY low.
