What do you think of Malone's turnover rate compared to other big men?
Forget about comparing Malone's turnover rate to other big men.
His TO% was lower than even the best PGs who have the lowest turnover rates!
Yes, he did average 3.1 turnovers per game, but then you have to take into account that he shot the ball more than others, so hence more opportunities to turn it over. Turnover rate normalizes it per possession. He probably shot or pass (used the ball) as as much or more than anyone, yet still turned it over less than the most protective PGs.
Comparing it to a few other bigs, there are other bigs that have comparable TO% (Malone's is still usually better), but again, he used the ball more than they did to. His per game is a little higher, but by about 0.5 turnovers, not a big deal IMO. Malone's is more impressive to me because of how often he had the ball.
