Moneyball NBA Team

In this article the writer takes the "moneyball" approach to compiling a basketball team. He focuses his 12-man roster on players with low salaries, low turnovers, high field-goal percentages, a lot of offensive boards, and high blocks. The only pick I disagree with is Brook Lopez, who only averaged 6.0 rebounds per game last year despite playing big minutes and being 7 feet tall. Additionally, the writer makes a bold statement by asserting that Chris Paul is the "ultimate NBA Sabermetrics guy."
