Sean,

I think this is a great article. Your sentence style seems somewhat chatty, casual, and unnecessarily wordy. I would suggest that you try to tighten, shorten, and make more succinct and precise.

Examples:

• "not the ultimate ranking ... but a good benchmark" -- can you find more precise words than both "ultimate" and "good" ?

• "They are adjusted to a per minute of playing time scale" -- is there\ a better way to say this.

• "PER is basically a barometer to how complete a player's game may be" -- "barometer to how" should be changed, perhaps to "barometer measuring how". But why the analogy to barometer?

• " many have floundered and never quite reached their full potential - "The Darius Miles Effect"." -- Fill in words where you have a dash.

• "Darius Miles's falloff was so staggering and severe that it has proven to be enough of a millstone that the overall projection for players coming out of highschool foresees a decline in PER over the second and third years in the league." -- This sentence needs cleanup.
