I really do not like these kind of projection systems because they are based on simple numbers without context. For example, Elton Brand barely played last year and had a negative effect on their offense when he did play. How did he get almost 2 wins more than Bosh? Another example, Calderon is rated under 3 and based on his numbers last year you can argue that is logical. The problem is he played most of last year hurt and he deserves more respect than other players including Danilo Gallinari who barely played last year due to injury and was a rookie. How does he get rated higher than Calderon? These kind of projections only prove my point that these systems are slanted by personal bias. Gallinari has done nothing so far to warrant getting rated higher than even his own team mates let alone someone as good as Calderon can be when he is healthy (granted, who knows if that will be the case this year).
