i'm getting kinda obsessed by Terry Irby. How can a player listed as a PF be a starting PG on a near-championship team?
Irby's stats give some clues, but not many:
-- 2:1 assist to TO ratio, but at 3 assists a game, not an exceptional passer, especially for the guy who starts the offense.
-- shoots 37% from the floor, but less than 4% from downtown.
-- 4 rebounds / game
-- more than 1 steal / game, and .7 block a game.
and he makes $15,000.
i went to BuzzerManager's salary estimator, and this is what i came up with, a PF with $17,000 salary that could possibly play PG:
JS 8 JR 2
OD 15 HA 13
DR 16 PA 7
IS 13 ID 12
RB 7 SB 7
such a player is close to a C, and a bit further back, a PG. i'm not sure what, if anything, this shows, for it is clear Jason has a stifling team defense, but at least those players are a bit more conventional. i think it is also possible that this PG may be assigned somewhere else on defense, but i figure that only begs the question -- what is this player doing on the floor, as a starter, of a very successful team?
'tis a puzzlement
