If you genuinely believe Chet is already a more impactful player than KD or Book, you should probably start watching a different sport. Advanced stats don’t mean shit without watching games.

Homer bias obviously, but the Suns have either Booker/KD on the floor for all 48 minutes which means you’re always watching an ELITE offensive player work. Very entertaining team IMO but again I’m biased.

I know Hawks fans are mad but this isn’t a malicious play by Kuz. You can find examples like this in every NBA game.

As harsh as it sounds, learning how to fall correctly is a vital skill for NBA players. You should NEVER break a fall with your hands, wrists are weak (skaters know this). Super unfortunate but he’ll learn as he gets more experience in the league.

I think Luka is better, and more importantly he’s younger, so he’s the obvious answer to this question. But if we’re just talking right now, saying they don’t “remotely compare” is stupid.

I’d argue that Booker is easier to build around because he could fit into every team in the league. He’s a better defender than Luka and he’s a FAR better off-ball player than Luka.

(Again, yes I agree Luka is better but they’re absolutely “comparable”, they’re both top 10 players)

Does it make sense TO ME to change numbers to avoid negative publicity for a rape case? No, not really.

Is that exactly what Kobe did? Yes.

Weird they left out Shai who should be number 5 at 55.4% eFG on 130 attempts. Must be a simple error when making the list.

Yea Kobe changing his number to escape criticism from raping a woman is so commendable. Nothing says iconic like changing numbers to make ppl forget you’re a rapist.

Interesting to look at Offensive EPM as well. Has the top offensive players as:

1. Jokic

2. Hali

3. Luka / Steph (tie)

4. Embiid

5. Booker

6. Fox

7. SGA

8. DMitch

9. Lebron/KD

Seems to be pretty damn accurate for the season so far tbh.

Curry & SGA should be up here, and IMO Booker should as well. He’s averaging 30/6/10 on 67.4%TS over his first 4 games (Fox has only played 6).

I know people aren’t used to calling Book a PG, but he absolutely is one now. He’s in a Houston Harden role where he is the PG as well as primary scorer.
