Not bad, but I do think that a couple of these are off. How can Miles only have a B-? When was the last time that the Jazz had a bench player produce like this? And don't say Milsap, cause Booz was hurt so much he was basically a starter. Miles has FAR exceeded everyone's expectations and finally seems to be growing up. Also, wouldn't a INC be much more appropriate for Okur?
Miles has some stats that are eye opening. He has one of the worst plus/minus marks in the NBA until he picked it up the last few games.
Not So Fast:
+/- is the most overrated stat ever. Earl Watson has a better +/- stat than DWill. Should we start him instead?
I like most of the grades Genessy has given, I would give Okur an incomplete, I am a big CJ fan but I would give him a B-, mostly because of inconsistency and because I don't think he is nearly playing to his potential.
Al should get an A for defense alone. His offensive numbers will improve.
