What I am saying is I appreciate all of those metrics but at the end of the day, what matters are points, assists, rebounds, and steals.
Let me help you out

PER strives to measure a player's per-minute performance, while adjusting for pace. A league-average PER is always 15.00, which permits comparisons of player performance across seasons.
PER takes into account accomplishments, such as field goals, free throws, 3-pointers, assists, rebounds, blocks and steals, and negative results, such as missed shots, turnovers and personal fouls. The formula adds positive stats and subtracts negative ones through a statistical point value system. The rating for each player is then adjusted to a per-minute basis so that, for example, substitutes can be compared with starters in playing time debates. It is also adjusted for the team's pace. In the end, one number sums up the players' statistical accomplishments for that season.

Ok but the way that sounds to me is it gives a significant advantage to forwards and centers since Waters will be almost completely irrelevant in the blocks and rebounds column. Does that make him a worse player? No

And giving a player bonus points just because they foul less seems odd

Guards are allowed to get rebounds and blocks just as front court players are allowed to get assists and steals.
Williams leads the league in scoring and is in the top 11 in assists, rebounds, blocks and steals.

He doesn’t lead the league in scoring. I just spent 20 minutes going through every conference game and doing the math and posted the numbers for you, and top 11 is great but Waters is #1 in assists and steals

Waters does not lead the league in scoring or assists.
Williams leads the league in scoring and Bone in assists.
The award is not for SEC play only.

It’s a SEC award. So I think it’s should be for sec play. Obviously waters wouldn’t lead when you go out of conference because he was benched at that point. That’s such bs to even consider that a fair comparison

You can create the Terrific Tales Player of the Year if you want where rebounds, blocks, turnovers, efficiency, and OOC play aren’t factors. I have no doubt Waters would be the heavy favorite to win that one.

Lol no. Just take out the OOC in which he didn’t freaking play and he would still be the heavy favorite

Tremont Waters: TTPOY frontrunner

There's still plenty of games to play. If Tennessee drops 3 out of their last 6 that could probably knock Williams out.

Williams got bullied against UK. Dude could not handle the physicality of that game and it showed in the 1st half

It’s Williams. Everybody else is playing for second.

Probably Grant Williams. Might depend on Washington's rest of the season though.
