Ranking Small Forwards by Points Gained

[quady]

In case you missed it, a couple weeks ago I posted this article ranking SGs by Points Gained (TRADEMARK), which some of you seemed to like. I also implied that I would post more of them, but then a few things happened I didn't adequately plan for. The first is that you all traded some of those shooting guards, and changed which positions they were playing, which frankly I should have seen coming. Second, my team started playing poorly which definitely made me less excited to post a followup. Then I got lazy, a few weeks passed, blah blah blah, a tale as old as time. However, you're in luck this morning, because I'm stuck on an Acela for four hours, I've already eaten 2 hot dogs, and I'm boxed into a window seat. Without further ado, here are SF rankings, sorted by a few different column values, because I'm feeling extra nice.

Like last time, the points gained metrics are set against a league average starter. Since maybe a quarter of the guys starting have no business doing so, this is probably closer to replacement level than I initially thought. That baseline line is 17.6 points, 6.5 boards, 1.2 steals, 0.6 boards, and 1.5 turnovers a game, slashing 45/39/83.
