You could probably easily make the argument that some of the guys with the most drive are the guys not skilled enough or big enough and sit at the end of the bench and are fighting for a job and a good paycheck. Those dudes, I'm certain, have been some of the hardest working dudes in the NBA, but "drive" only gets assigned to guys who are good.

Nah, I am pretty sure it is the guys who repeatedly have stories brought up about their work ethic.

There is more than just statistics. Numbers should be used in conjunction with visual analysis, not exclusively. Even the biggest members of communities like SABR recognize the importance of context. Putting everything in a rate stat vacuum can be almost as blind as the stupid GOAT, LeQuit, Kobe, etc drivel.

Ah yea, because reporters are dying to report about that 12th guy on the bench who may or may not be on a team next year. You serious?

There is zero doubt in my mind that there are just as many guys at the end of the bench working just as hard as the elite guys, zero.
