I hate to admit it but I agree with this quote. He's a frustrating player to watch. I hope we can trade him.

This post annoys me.
It's posts like this and similar ones that make it hard for me to respect the opinion of many of the people who toot the horn about advanced stats.
Of course he has a high shooting %, he scores tons of goals. But wait! Hold the phone! He has relatively poor advanced numbers and doesn't drive possession well, and this must be the be-all end-all that overrides everything else so he must not be very good, right?
It's like you and they seem to think this is wayyy more important than the counting stats, which is bull####!
