    It’s funny because Shai’s impact metrics are like top 2-3 in almost every stat.

    Only behind in Jokic

      The problem with EPM or other impact metrics is they aren’t reliable to quantify defensive impact. On/off analysis isn’t the end all method as well ofc. Either way, it still stands true that Shai #4 isn’t the most controversial thing here.
