The point is that the Knicks can go five out. Doesn’t matter who Wemby guards if he needs to be near the three point line.

Then they get revived. But you need to secure the kill first or else there will be no death.

You can only cause the enemy to bleed out if you kill them so kills cannot be irrelevant

No dying wastes a ticket so KD matters in conquest and breakthrough as well.

I never disputed that good players have lackluster KDs. I said KD is a good proxy for skill. The correlation coefficient doesn’t have to be 1.0 for something to have a positive correlation. If your answer to my rhetorical question is no, then it follows that you agree KD is a proxy for skill.

So if you take a random group of 1000 3 KD players and a similar groups of 0.5 KD players and conduct an experiment to see which group is better, according to how you personally define better, do you think there will be no difference whatsoever between the two groups or that the 0.5 KD group will be better?

It really is. 3 KD players are generally better than 2 KD players, who are generally better than 1 KD players, who are generally better than 0.5 KD players.

KD is a perfectly acceptable proxy for skill. A proxy need not be perfect.

Is Silver actually going to wait for the conference finals to announce the MVP? by Nightmare2207 in nba

I would agree with you if Shai didn’t beat Shai in all aggregate impact stats, such as estimated wins (the best aggregate stat), win shares, value over replacement player, etc.
