The third one is under different conditions, so you can't really use it to compare guard performances. In any case, out of the 6 guards that started for your opponent in these 3 games, 5 of them have 11k or lower salaries. The sixth is a 60k guy who now has average GS and had ratings of 11 and 11.5 in this week's games. When he played against you his rating was 8.5, so I imagine his GS was even worse then. Your guy did have a nice game (16 assists) that time, but he was playing against a full court press of guys in terrible shape, which is probably the best recipe for disaster.
Like I said, and Kumiko added to it, a player may outplay a higher-salary opponent if he has better GS, secondaries, is played in a good tactic, etc. But if both players have "traditional" skills distributions, the guy with the highest salary will have the better skill-set and perform better under the same circumstances.
52662812 the guy's salary is not below 11K
2804 I did not include because I suspect the guys GS was below respectable. Same with coming off bench at PG and SG in the last game, gameshape of 31K pg is medicore.
and in 2828 as I stated earlier, His gameshape at that game was fine, it was strong. But I guess, since there was no snapshot picture taken prior to the game to "prove" it, then you'll believe what you want to believe.
and so, I'll throw out there. I'd be fine adjusting his minutes to play him in a scrimmage vs a "respectable+" gameshape PG of your own choosing, to prove my point.
In regards to him playing at the PF position, which you dismissed so suddenly as not being relevant and used to compare guard performances (which I disagree with), I would actually look at that one the hardest personally, and go... "Hrmm, what kind of skill-set does this guard have where he's still classified at PG, but can play at and defend the 4 vs a natural 4 of higher salary, so well? And, is that part of the reason that he "may or may not" be outperforming these higher salaried guards he's playing against""
But again, that may just be, I am somewhat of a critical thinker about stuff like that...
