Fred LaCour
G · 3 seasons · 1960-61 – 1962-63
Fred LaCour is the extreme version of a specialist. +0.4 of roto value came from free-throw percentage, yet his career total is only -5.0. No season of his scores higher than 1961-62, at -0.1, 44th that season and 10473rd of 24,555 player-seasons on record. Career value accumulated in free-throw percentage (+0.4), and drained away in points (-2.1), rebounds (-1.9) and assists (-1.3). The 338-place difference between his two bases is not noise: it is what he was worth per night set against how many nights he played.
