Two lenses, two verdicts. Charlie Scott ranks 806th by career totals and 544th per game. 1975-76 was the high-water mark, worth +4.4, 42nd that season and 3758th of 24,555 player-seasons on record. Career value accumulated in assists (+7.2), points (+6.2) and steals (+3.2), and drained away in field-goal percentage (-6.0), rebounds (-2.4) and turnovers (-2.0). The 262-place difference between his two bases is not noise: it is what he was worth per night set against how many nights he played. 1971-72 is the sharpest single case: -2.9 on totals against +1.5 per game, off 6 games.
