The Most Important Player On Every NBA Team

To determine the most important player on every NBA team, we looked at which players change their teams the most when they are on the court.

Using the basketball stats site 82games.com, we found these on court/off court stats, and the results were pretty surprising.

Generally, the most important players on the really good teams are the stars, and the most important players on the bad teams are role players.
