24. Al Horford, .617
25. (tie) Mikki Moore's Backup/David Lee, .616
While we're here, the winning percentages of the rest of the Dubs we've seen lately:
Corey Maggette, .540 (shouldn't surprise anyone who's been paying attention, as he's having a strong year)
C.J. Watson, .521 (underrated as always, though I'd expect his defensive numbers to go down a bit)
Monta Ellis, .471 (below-average offensive accuracy and leads the world in turnovers; this doesn't surprise me)
Anthony Morrow, .447 (this one does, as we do well when he plays; still, he's not shooting often and not doing much else)
Stephen Curry, .423 (their system doesn't love his defense, but who does; as with Morrow, it thinks he should shoot more)
Mikki Moore, .416 (higher than I would've expected, thanks largely to a very efficient week of play; still not great)
Chris Hunter, .410 (small sample size, of course, but it's not seeing much in him so far)
Vladimir Radmanovic, .355 (YIKES; includes his Charlotte stats, but he has been about this bad in both places)
This does not of course mean that we'd be assured of a playoff berth with a CJ/Monta/Morrow/Maggette/Randolph lineup; the fit of a lineup matters, and Win% is certainly not the last word on player value. But it's a pretty good metric. And its extreme prescriptions -- use a lot more Randolph, use a lot less Vlad -- are pretty hard to argue with. Unless, of course, if you work for this turkey of a franchise.
