At the end of the day, basketball is about scoring. There are a whole lot of other things teams look at — physical attributes, speed and all the others — but it comes down to being able to put the ball in the basket. In whatever role it comes with.
Players typically have to find a way to make their games work within the concept of a team. And their ability to do that will likely determine their place in the NBA. Finding other skills to keep a player on the court are a good thing but scoring is ultimately what the point of the game is.
