Sam Jacobson
G-F · 3 seasons · 1998-99 – 2000-01
Sam Jacobson is the extreme version of a specialist. +3.0 of roto value came from turnovers, yet his career total is only -10.3. The peak came in 1999-00, -2.2, 258th that season and 14944th of 24,555 player-seasons on record. The value came from turnovers (+3.0) and field-goal percentage (+0.6). It leaked back out through rebounds (-2.9), points (-2.6) and steals (-2.5). Switching basis moves him 534 places, which is the whole argument about availability in a single figure.
