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
quote:
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
