My whole point is to win games early. 3pts is worth more than 2pts. Assist are worth their salts in close games. Those are the things manager will have to master early to be successful.

Thats how i see it. The more great player he can bring up the better. He shouldn't just go for 1 great player. Balanced teams win more than one way team. My ending point
I utterly disagree with most of what you write in general and in your post, but I will give you credit for typing the words above as they are actually somehow wise.
The things I personally put a lot of stock in when evaluating a team and their performance:
1. How much salary do they pay their 6th-10th (or even deeper) players? The better their backups and reserves, the more likely they are to weather injuries and to gain ground late in quarters against tired starters or overmatched scrubs.
2. Can they at least put up a credible inside offense, inside defense, outside offense and outside defense? Some teams can put up very nice ratings in inside offenses only, but they don't have the ability to mix in a changeup tactic - which means they'd better be darned good at their primary tactic to overcome the GDP.
3. Turnovers, turnovers, turnovers! Assists might go here too, because that's a very important part too, but if you show me a team that's among the best in the league both in avoiding turnovers and in forcing their opponent to turn it over, and they're putting up a decent defense, you've got a perennial contender.
