John Salmons is a case where the basis you pick changes the answer. On totals he ranks 687th; per game he is 853rd. The peak came in 2008-09, +6.6, 33rd that season and 1895th of 24,555 player-seasons on record. The value came from steals (+7.1), three-pointers (+6.2) and assists (+5.1). It leaked back out through field-goal percentage (-6.9), turnovers (-3.6) and blocks (-2.8). The 166-place difference between his two bases is not noise: it is what he was worth per night set against how many nights he played.
