Not necessarily. The qualitative notes we take match-to-match are an extremely valuable asset, as they allow us to recall certain robots more precisely. Especially if there's a lot of teams who look almost the same statistically, certain observations can be the difference between a good pick and a bad pick.
Personally, I think the most important metric this season (second to average scoring and consistency, of course) will be high goal consistency. It's a difficult objective, as it requires consistent positioning and consistent shooter angle/velocity, but it's worth great points, in a game where no one basic objective is worth much more than any other.
