JoA, Pudge,

I too have read some critiques of Wages of Wins. In fact, a couple months back one of the big stat dudes from APBR metrics (or associated with it or whatever) was presenting a paper somewhere in Boston slamming it. Basically saying it isn't sound science.

I know one of the critiques is there are no position adjustments. I've also read about a "fudge" factor, but I forget what it is exactly.

All that being said, I still read his stuff and a lot of it is pretty interesting. It's also interesting that he's been pretty accurate with his win-loss predictions in the NBA. Plus he loves Pierce so he's obviously not all bad.
