i think alot of the reason some older players arent getting picked right now is people (including me) are unfamiliar with their actual game and ONLY have stats to go on, so when thinking about things like chemistry, play style, strengths/weaknesses, we simply don't have a full picture.
but just bc PER will not and should not be over emphasized doesn't mean it wont get thrown out the door... a guy like james worthy (lol gotta make fun of this one again) is a good player and all but probably not better then a slewwwwwww of the guys picked around him (which PER and other stats would validate)
