Jazzfan1971 and FloppyMoose's Season Preview - The Warriors

It's also important to understand that role matters. Nick Collison's eye-popping rapm values are on 16.7 minutes per game. I bet if you ramped him up to 35 minutes a night the value would go way down, because otherwise the Thunder would probably be playing him 35 a night.

There is also a certain amount of error. Iggy likely isn't the 3rd best player in the league. But he has consistently been a top 25ish guy in rapm, and there was likely just some upward error in value last year. The question is how much does that matter to the projections? It's not like saying Michael Beasley was the 3rd best in the league.

(At any rate, Iggy was actually a player that I adjusted the value back down closer to his historical norm, so his high rating last year didn't affect the Warriors projection.)
