You can definitely use it for this season tho. Dude's not playing and Hayward is.
Which poster would you take?
Poster A:
Posts - 5,946; RAP - 59, Join Date - Dec. 2010; Friends - 16
Poster B:

Poster A looks like more of a sure thing - a proven vet that has performed quite well throughout his/her Jazzfanz career. However, Poster B could have a bit more upside as evidenced by his/her sparkling RAP per post ratio. Poster B may have greater potential to become a superstar, while one can be a bit more certain of Poster A's career trajectory - which is a proven leader of the JFC. One thing to note is that Poster B is not making friends as quickly as Poster A - perhaps this will hold him/her back as he/she continues to integrate into the community.

Here's an expansion of this premise, with a couple more guys in the tier
Poster A. More posts. Nothing else even matters.

Assuming they play the same position then player B because of the boards. Also the slightly higher fg attempts probably account for the difference in their shooting because player B shoots better from the line. Player B is probably taking slightly more difficult shots. These are stats though. I think you ultimately have to see them play to make a final decision.

I replied before reading the thread so as to be honest. I figured the stats were both Hayward just from different time frames. It's crazy how close those 2 players are statistically.
Haha.. see the explanation in the other thread.
I have lots of friends.

You have one more than me if that helps...
You are up against babe.
I wouldn't get too caught up in PKM's figuring. Using his method you are a worse poster than carolina jazz and ONE LOVE is a better poster than 99% of people on the site.

Comparisons to Hayward aside, I always thought George was overhyped. Based on Indiana's success and George's admittedly good play, he suddenly became the next up and coming superstar, and the press being the press with its uncontrollable propensity for group think, it became a self-perpetuating hype machine and, viola, the George hype became an irresistible force with the momentum of a freight train that no one questioned, let alone tried to slow down.
Don't get me wrong, he's good, very good, but he's NOT the next superstar, and, I'd be willing to bet, Indiana's window of opportunity will soon be slammed shut, with or without George.
Lucky you. :..(

How do their 4th quarter or "clutch" stats compare? I'm not a huge stats guy, but I know there are a few of you on here. That's one thing that I think truly makes an all star, the guys that take over in the end. I've seen both do it on occasion, but i'm curious how they compare.
Even last year of Hayward was better than Paul George in clutch.
Edit:
Less than 5 points, 5 minutes
Paul George 2013-2014: %31.6 FG, %31.8 3PT FG, 0.4 assists, 2.1 Points in 2.8 minutes
Gordon Hayward 2013-2014: %45.8 FG, %37.5 3PT FG, 0.3 assists, 1.2 Points in 2.2 minutes
Gordon Hayward 2014-2015: %%38.1 FG, %28.6 3PT FG, 0.0 assists, 1.5 Points in 2.0 minutes
Clearly Hay is more efficient but from what I understand from stats that George was asked to handle the ball more in clutch. It could be why he has such low percentages and Indiana's offensive system kinda sucks. I don't think the difference is that clear as I said before I edited.
