Good I fucking hate people using per36 minute stats. They're completely useless. It's all extrapolation. Production on the basketball court is not linear.

What? Do you know what extrapolation means? And what does “production on the basketball court is not linear” mean? Just that people score at different rates at different times in the game? Because umm yeah, that’s why we use averages over a larger sample, like per 36.

Per 36 stats are fine, and do a good job of telling you what a player’s impact looks like per minute they are on the floor. Just like per 100 possessions stats are good for telling you who averages the most points, rebounds, etc. each time up the floor. Nobody is saying they’re a be all end all stat, but they have their place.

Lmao. I guess you don't know what extrapolation is. Are these words too big for you or something?
