My limited understanding with basketball stats is that they are only somewhat useful, as it favours player who have direct impact to the game, those who can score/assist/rebound/etc, and encourages players to game the system.
However it does not reflect how a player defends, how he fits into a particular style/role, how much support his teammates get from him other than assists, etc.
It'll be interesting to see if they use deeper analysis to figure out which player is actually better.
