Two lenses, two verdicts. Chris Kaman ranks 619th by career totals and 455th per game. 2005-06 was the high-water mark, worth +5.9, 56th that season and 2408th of 24,555 player-seasons on record. Career value accumulated in blocks (+17.5), rebounds (+13.8) and field-goal percentage (+9.7), and drained away in turnovers (-9.8), three-pointers (-9.6) and steals (-5.5). Switching basis moves him 164 places, which is the whole argument about availability in a single figure. 2010-11 is the sharpest single case: -1.2 on totals against +2.8 per game, off 32 games.
