The best "Average" players in the NBA

a blog by Big Red

So I was surfing youtube this morning, and came across an interesting video. The video breaks down stats of all the average players in the NBA to find out just who produces the most average numbers, and then analyzes if they are being over payed to produce these average numbers. Heres the video: 

So I know the video is about 7 months old, but the players mentioned in the video have not changed all that much. Granted, Jordan Clarkson has improved his game a little more than last year. In my eyes, Clarkson's numbers are now better than average. I found it absolutely hilarious that the worst payed person in the video was Brook Lopez. I love it, anything that makes the Brooklyn Nets look bad is great in my eyes. Can't wait to get that draft pick this summer. 

However, I was pretty upset to see them analyze Avery Bradley's stats, because despite his stats, guys around the league constantly say he's the hardest on ball defender in the league. A stat that can't quite be crunched. In addition, these stats are a year old, so Avery has improved a little more than last season. At the end of the video they picked the best value starting lineup. Take a look at what they came up with: 

PG: Jordan Clarkson
SG: O.J. Mayo
SF: Danilo Gallinari
PF: Quincy Acy
C: Derrick Favors

And there you have it, the greatest starting 5 of all time. Seriously, though I think this team could put a beat down on the 76ers.
