      He’s basically new Tatum. His team is very good even when he’s not on the floor. I’d still put him over Luka and Joel because you need to respect the record, and Shai clearly their #1 guy.

        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.
