If you believe those individual stats are exclusively reflective of individual value in a highly dynamic team game with hundreds of thousands of variables I guess. I think they are a very small part of the story.
Is Clarkson as valuable as Williams? Doesn't that depend on the situation or is his value tattooed on his arm regardless of the situation. That's what those so called advanced stats do when viewed in a vacuum.
For this team, I believe Clarkson's in a situation that isn't his best situation. Williams is in a situation he will not be in anywhere else.
Young won't be a starter getting the opportunities he's getting now anywhere else either.
In the end we lose Young for nothing, Lou is over 30 on a team 5 years away and Clarkson is 25 and needs some help to get to his ceiling. I'd view their value to our team in that order.
