Around SBN: Ryder Hesjedal Wins Giro d'Italia

Interesting - admittedly i was too lazy to read the ENTIRE article, but basically the gist is similar to the idea of 'shake', in that it attempts to measure Volatility of scoring. They put Lamarcus as top 3 behind KD and LBJ.

**keep in mind the parameters are 20+Ppg scorers only

im sure the measurement can be faulty (as with most stats), but in any case kinda cool.

Player Volatility
Carmelo Anthony 44.0%
Dwight Howard 41.5%
Monta Ellis 40.9%
Brandon Jennings 40.6%
Kevin Martin 38.6%
Chris Bosh 38.4%
Deron Williams 37.2%
Russell Westbrook 35.7%
Derrick Rose 32.7%
Kobe Bryant 29.6%
Kevin Love 27.2%
Blake Griffin 25.7%
LaMarcus Aldridge 23.7%
Kevin Durant 23.3%
LeBron James 20.8%

It usually takes big men longer to develop

and he’s this good only a year removed from stepping out of Roy’s shadow. I mean, he’s got a top-10 PER, plays solid position defense, and is damn consistent. He’s still got to figure out how to work well in the clutch, but he’s getting to that level. He’s not a player that will carry a garbage team to the finals by himself like LeBron, but if you build the right team, he could lead a championship caliber team.

Probably not. But to be fair, most times it's taken a top 3-5 player in the league to win a championship.

MJ, Shaq, Kobe, Hakeem, Duncan, Wade, the list goes on the further you go back. Those players were all arguably in the top 3 at the time. Of course there’s a few exceptions, most noticeably Detroit’s last championship, but it’s really rare. So LA could easily be argued as a top 10 player, but would still need at least 1 other real star to contend.
