I disagree with a lot of what you wrote, an awful lot. But one thing that I think that gets stated a lot around here, without people really looking at the stats, is how London made some progress this year. He actually creates more assists per minutes than anyone on the team for the Flyers. And assists are not easy to come by on a team that relies on slashing to the basket for offense rather than jump shots. He averages 4.17 assists per 40 minute period played. Roberts was 3.97, Burrell was 4.73, and Lavender 5.84. And I know the next thing you are going to say, "Look at his assist to turnover ratio!". Take a look at his assist to turnover ratio in the first 19 games and compare it to the last 15 games. He made a dramatic improvement to a respectable ratio. His shooting is his only problem in my eyes.
