Linton Townes is the extreme version of a specialist. +3.8 of roto value came from turnovers, yet his career total is only -11.0. His best year was 1982-83: -2.3 roto value, 203rd that season and 15311th of 24,555 player-seasons on record. He banked roto value in turnovers (+3.8) and free-throw percentage (+0.0) and gave it back in rebounds (-3.2), steals (-3.2) and points (-3.2). He rates 439 places better on totals than per game, and that gap is the durability story in one number.
