Two lenses, two verdicts. Maurice Taylor ranks 2909th by career totals and 3455th per game. 2000-01 was the high-water mark, worth +1.5, 130th that season and 7755th of 24,555 player-seasons on record. On the credit side, field-goal percentage (+5.4), points (+3.7) and rebounds (+2.7). On the debit side, three-pointers (-5.8), turnovers (-5.2) and steals (-3.4). The 546-place difference between his two bases is not noise: it is what he was worth per night set against how many nights he played.
