re: Russell Westbrook is the mvp

His assist:TO ratio is 1.95, 53rd in the NBA. Currys is 2.6 and 26th in the NBA.

personal preference but I like turnover ratio better. it measures the percentage of a players possessions that end in a turnover. I believe that is more informative than assist/turnover ratio.

curry - 10.6
westbrook - 11.3
harden - 12

And let's not act like the only reason he's turnig the ball over a lot is because of his usage rate this year. He's consistently been near the top of the NBA in turnovers. And there's nothing misleading by saying he leads the league in turnovers...

oh don't get me wrong i'm not saying Russell isn't and hasn't been a TO machine. just saying it's not as bad this year as people are making it out to be given how much he handles the ball. that's why I believe turnover ratio is a more credible stat because it takes that into account.
