In sports, a person who judges a player by his per-game stats without accounting for his team's
pace of
play. (A Pacist gives preferential treatment to players on teams that
play at a faster pace because of the higher per-game stats produced.)
Jason King demonstrated that he is a Pacist when he did not name Mike
Scott in his list of nominees for the
John Wooden award despite
Scott's impressive impact on a per-possession basis.
