Earl Williams

His best year was 1975-76: -3.5 roto value, 160th that season and 18739th of 24,555 player-seasons on record. He banked roto value in turnovers (+1.2) and gave it back in points (-3.9), steals (-3.6) and assists (-3.5). He rates 168 places better on totals than per game, and that gap is the durability story in one number.
