Pretty accurate for the most part, but in no way was Lillard more valuable to his team as Nash was in those 05-07 years.

Surprised Nash is so low, he was the engine on those Suns teams.

I'm sure there's an era element to the results. Either the '00s guys are worse, which I don't think they are, or their numbers are suppressed by the rules and style of play of the time.
