Kevin takes a hit from many for not "filling up the stat sheet". He had a great year in 07-08, finishing highly ranked in the NBA in the following categories:
Scoring - 6th
3PFG% - 29th
FT% - 12th
FT/Game - 1st
FTA/Game - 5th
PER - 20th (Player Efficiency Rating)
Surprisingly, at least for me, Kevin finished amongst the NBA leaders in rebounding for guards (ie, all guards, both PG and SG):
Total RPG - 14th
Defensive RPG - 8th
In the latter rebounding category, Kevin was only topped by whom you would expect - Kidd, Bryant, McGrady, Carter, Ginobili - plus Mike Miller and Jason Richardson.
When you consider there are 60 starting guards in the league and many others that play significant minutes off the bench at the 1 and 2, I thought that this performance was a nice showing and noteworthy, since most probably did not realize it.
