The eye test vs Numbers?

Sports are a thing that no one can pin down. Many people clam that one method or another could solve all your problems. There is the eye test verse the numbers.  What is the the best way to move forward?

With eye test is more gut and experience. Players, coaches or anyone around the game knows a little about the sport. They would make their judgments on their concept of good basketball. The pros of this method could use past experinces to build good habits for the team to improve on. Keeping up with tradtion or improving tradtion. many good things come from this method becasue it is easly built upon. You would be able to build around a player based on style over his stat line. It doesn’t always show the truth of the situation. The cons of this method is very basic. You must trust human intuition over the facts sometimes and it is hard to do that when you may not see improvement fast enough. Also the people aren’t always willing to admit they are wrong.

If going by numbers is your thing then you have a good chance that you will win ally of games. The whole system is made to prove that you will always be in the game. Numbers tell you that your players with only one or two skills a roster spot because the roster  is looking for that one stat line. Players like P.J Tucker have had a spot on Houston Rockets because the his rebounding and second chance points. The cons of the system is very basic as well. The flaw is the numbers can make a player like Russel WestBrook who are called stats padders. They stuff there numbers and seem more important then they are. The issue arises that the player could get good stats but hurt the team and numbers won’t show it. And when this happens players are harder to improve the game if they believe they are already plastering there best ball with a stat line. Improvement is Harder to put in place.

Overall the two systems have clear pros and cons. The flaws in each can bring a team down for many years if not addressed in time. The pros on each also are vast and can make a team hard to beat. The real conclusion for me at least is the eye test is best way to take you team but with a hint of the numbers to support your clam to show that you are improving beyond the win lose  bracket.
