All apologizes to John Hollinger, because at least PER has some value for fantasy leagues. APM is just a joke in player comparisons. Sure, if you extrapolate the sample size across 6 years or so, you may get results that somewhat look passable, but really, using a rotaion/lineup stat for player evaluation is just beyond the scope.
Just this year, we have Luke "Russell" Walton outperforming all Laker players exept trey Johnson and Joe Smith on defense. Fisher is rated in the postive!! I mean really??? Fisher is the worst defensive PG in the league.

Oh, but wait. We can't look at 1 year samples for some reason.....
Nope...we need to combine several years of data together.

I mean really, when the stats you're using, is incosistent when a player switches teams, and gives off such incosistent results due to the fact, once again, that it's based on lineups, How in the World can you use it to evaluate players? Why not look at some like Synergy stats(which is based on actual play)?
Team depth, systems, coaching,e tc. all factor into those numbers. You can't correlate them to an individual player.
APM = the most overrated stat imaginable.
