The conclusions seem goofy. I just can't buy that assist to turnover ratio in the small forward is the most important stat in basketball.

Even if it has the greatest "weight" relative to the other stats they cooked up, its weight by itself is probably pretty small. There are just too many moving parts.

I think Phoenix should start playing steve nash at the 3 instead of the 1. Then maybe they could make it out of the 2nd round of the playoffs.
