Kanter's "win shares" were adversely effected by the fact that he hardly played. Kinda tough for a player to earn his salary when he's just sitting on the bench all the time.
Interesting charts of salaries of players adjusted for Win Share

So, Millsap and Al had much higher win share per 48 minutes than any of our young players (except for Evans), and Burks had much lower WS/48 than Marvin and Foye?
How could it be? Is the dominant perception of the relative value for the Jazz players completely wrong or is the win share a useless statistic?
P.S. No surprise that most of our young players are cost-effective: the rookie salary scale is loved by the teams for a reason.

If you follow the link and look at GSW....... it says that they just let go their #3 and #4 win shares players who were at decent salary go (jack & landry) and replaced them with overpaid Iggy who would have ranked 5th for win share on the GSW last season and Speights who's winshares were half of Landry's.
In short--the Warios got worse and are paying more.
Go Warrios !!!!

Anyone remember that scene in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, where Jay and Bob finally make it to Hollywood and explain to Tracy Morgan's character what they were doing in Hollyweird?
And then Tracy Morgans all "I dunno what the F*** you just said little kid.. but you special man"
I feel like Tracy Morgan after reading this post.
I have read it several times and was always too lazy to try to understand the concept of the stat. Seems like I'm still lazy.

it's all about Christmas.
I think the dominant perception is that there is a very good chance our young guys will get better and surpass what Al and Millsap were putting up last year... if we ever decide to play them. As for Burks, his WS/48 was quite a bit better his rookie year, when he was driving to the basket and drawing fouls instead of trying to play point guard.
