Wilmer Hosket
F · 4 seasons · 1968-69 – 1971-72
Wilmer Hosket is the extreme version of a specialist. +0.5 of roto value came from field-goal percentage, yet his career total is only -10.5. His best year was 1971-72: -1.9 roto value, 121st that season and 14393rd of 24,555 player-seasons on record. He banked roto value in field-goal percentage (+0.5) and gave it back in points (-4.1), assists (-3.6) and rebounds (-3.3). The 807-place difference between his two bases is not noise: it is what he was worth per night set against how many nights he played.
