I agree with the rest of your post in that it did point out how different both players are offensively. It does seem that TS% rewards three-points shooting volume at an extreme level. James Jones was the team leader in that category at over 61%. Really, if comparing players, a case should be made that for their role, James Jones should be starting over Martell Webster, at least using TS% as the comparison for offensive efficiency.

Re: Courtside Thursday 5/8/08

I think it's important not to value any specific metric too highly. But, the one that does seem to me to be the best, is PER, although it too has flaws. According to PER, Jack would be better than Blake, but I think that at least 90% of the posters here would disagree with that contention.
PER for the Blazers
EFF is another metric I look at sometimes, but it seems to be off the mark a lot. Like Roy this year had the 44th highest EFF, two ahead of Zach Randolph.
