We can knock player C out of running if we are attempting to recruit a top player.What do you all think? Im going to put 3 guys stats out there and see which one you all would go with.

Of course, you mention nothing of surrounding talent, attitude, personality and competitiveness. Just looking at a stat sheet doesn't always tell the whole story. But I will play along here.
I would choose player B, although turnovers are not given in the statistics given. Why player B? He averages .6 points more per game,dished out .5 more assist per game which is another 1.0 - 1.5 (if the assist was for a three) point per game over player A, and grabs 1.9 more rebounds per game which should lead to approximately 1.9 additional points per game if team averages 1 point per possession. So .6 plus 1.0 plus 1.9 equals 3.5 points per game over player A. Again we know nothing of their chemistry they bring to the team, or points they cost the team via turnovers. We do know player B is doing a great job on the boards relative to player A, but can't tell why? Is it heart and determination or system defense? Does player A always guard the other teams best player while player B plays off his man defensively and grabs rebounds but gives up points due to turning his back to the offensive player? A stat sheet does not tell all, but just looking at stats, give me player B, and tell him to not shoot the three, but penetrate and distribute.
