Small sample size alert, but:
McCallum 2016: PER 7.0; TS% .500; AST% 0.0; WS/48 .057
SethCurry 2016: PER 31.3; TS% .850; AST% 38.1; WS/48 .357
Curry has played well enough in his limited minutes to be given a shot at backup PG while Collison is on the sideline.

If if its not too cmplicated to explain, could anyone tell me simply what PER, TS%, AST%, and WS refer to. I don't want to compute them, would like just an idea of what they refer to.
PER= Player Efficiency Rating. Basically, it's supposed to be a "be all, tell all" stat. It has problems, but is an okay snapshot at the overall impact of a player
TS%= True shooting %. It's an efficiency metric, like Field Goal%, but better. Properly weights 3pt shooting and ft shooting into efficiency
ASt%= % of the time a player assists on fields goals when he's on the floor. Better than pure Assists per game, because it's not reliant on minutes
WS= Win Shares. Another "be all, tell all" stat that tries to combine the impact of everything a player does on the floor into one stat. Once again, it has problems, but it's a better snapshot than PER.
Hope this helps!
Jamal already covered it (I would add that PER is pretty much an offense-only stat), but I just want to keep in mind that these numbers are from 27 minutes (Curry) or 11 minutes (McCallum) and shouldn't be taken as anything other than a super quick assessment that Curry has done well enough to be given a chance with Collison out. Seth's numbers in these categories are actually rivaling Steph's this season and can't possibly be maintained at this level with even regular back-up minutes.

Personally, I think Seth Curry can be a very good contributor on this Kings team.
He has something that players like Ben and James Anderson don't have, which is an aggressive offensive mentality.
He is not afraid to put up the ball, not like Ben and James.
Also, on his Draft Express bio, he is listed at 6'3" with shoes, which is okay size for the SG, which is his more natural position.
I would like to see what he has and if he can shoot anything like his brother, I wouldn't mind seeing him get minutes at SG.

It's actually impressive he has those peripherals in 27 minutes. Usually, those type of #'s are reserved for the backups with 2 minutes played

A good summary until we hit this point.
Any stat that depends on the talent of your teammates, that would take a huge jump one way or the other if you got traded from the Warriors to the Sixers, needs big sloppy asterisks. I've always wondered what the marginal numbers before the final "now we fudge with wins" step looked like. Be a better measure of productivity.
At least PER is straight forward and doesn't try to jury rig in vagueries.
But otherwise, like I said, a good summary.

Well if we're going with the small sample size, those stats suggest an MVP candidate, not a momentary backup while DC is out.
Appreciate!
But like Capt said, PER is basically offense only and largely ignores defense. The example I always use is Bruce Bowen, who had a PER between 8-10 his whole career, yet was one of the greatest perimeter defenders of all time. It also harshly penalizes "one trick ponies" and rewards do it all guys like Cousins with high usage.
Win Shares at least tries to measure defensive impact. Again, not perfect, as no one stat is, but I think it's important for an "overall" stat to include the other side of the floor

Maybe Seth will be matched up against Ray Mac. That would be cool......
