At the time i may have. When analytics start telling the future, I'll be impressed.
Not sure what you mean by predicting the future. Korver used to be a bad joke around here, and now the basketball establishment has embraced him as an incredible weapon. I wouldn't say stats told the future. I would say stats told about the present, while Korver was being underrated by eye tests.
BTW, you were the only one arguing for Hibbert (for once it wasn't me on my own, LOL).
He's getting all-star consideration and Team USA consideration. Not saying that should convince you, but I am saying you are probably in the minority at this point.
Ftr I think Korver is really good, and is having an unbelievable year shooting (which is why he gets Team USA consideration). I just don't think he does enough all around to be top 25, probably 45-50 range for me.
Didn't you say you'd take him over Westbrook or something?
BTW, he got team USA consideration this past summer, before the season started. Not just consideration, I believe he made final 25. Is there another cut before the final roster? I think he made it to last cut.
You were using that as a reference point. Neither of us considered them top 50, so that point is well pointless. I and you I'm sure, don't care what the establishment thinks when it comes to rating guys.

Bad wording on my part, I didn't mean it to sound like just this years shooting is the reason. I did say gets not getting, I should have been more clear. My bad.
But again Team USA doesn't just take the best 25 players. They are building a team, Korver is a perfect fit, that doesn't make him top 25. He's still behind 12-15 PGs.
Wait, that's what you were arguing? I thought you were arguing that people didn't consider them top 50, because of the context for which they were brought up.
I definitely don't care what the establishment thinks. You can't care about that and embrace stats. All I was saying is the establishment has changed their mind on Korver. I'm not saying that means you should.
Why do you keep saying PGs? He's a big 2. He's more of a swing, even. How many 2s would you rate ahead of him?
