I wonder if its for a "moneyball" type of signing of players for the future, but instead based on PER.

Good for him but too bad for us because he was a fairly good writer in terms of analyzing the sport once as long as he didn't rely on PER for the entire picture (it has its uses in doses).

Hollinger is a bit of a flip flopper. He had all these numbers that said Lillard wouldn't be that great. Then after the first week of the season his numbers starter to completely say something else and he changed his mind.

If I was gonna hire anyone from ESPN it would be Chad Ford as a scout. I wouldn't even do that though. ESPN really sucks.
