I'm not sure why all the discussions revolve around only the high scorers. Basketball takes five players, and some guys do more of the grunt work, which doesn't get recognized by anyone other than basketball junkies. Some of these players don't get their names in lights, but they will be hard to replace.
Look at the stats when certain teams hold "scorers" to season lows through DEFENSE, DEFENSE, DEFENSE.
