Oh EPM and DPM are a comprehensive list of every advanced metric? What about Lebron, DARKO and RAPTOR? Yah know, other advanced metrics?

Frankly idgaf about prior seasons for either player. Your argument is that zingo is the second best player on this team. The current roster construction has a 17 game sample size or a small sample size. Are you familiar with standard deviation? Shooting variance? Potential assist percentage?
Honestly I’m not even convinced that jaylen is our second best player but the fact that you typed up this elaborate post so you could “link it when your arguing with strangers online about professional sports,” just shows exactly how sad you are.
Please leave the name calling at home. There’s absolutely no need to insult anyone’s intelligence in a sports discussion. We’re both adults here, let’s try to act like it.
I was not aware that more columns existed to the right on that chart, and for that I am sorry. You should add an edit to let people know there are more columns as it is not clear on mobile. I did read the whole post and many of the discussions in the comments though for what it’s worth.
I think we just fundamentally disagree on the importance of advanced metrics. They are a good representation of efficiency, but I think they ignore context that is hard to display in terms of statistics. I don’t think they factor in the roles that we are putting this guys in particularly this season. I know that they weigh things differently for different positions, but they don’t factor in who is guarding each player and who they are guarding in terms of defensive efficiency or double team frequency related to usage on offense etc. It is difficult to attribute everything to a number. That’s why I trust that if Brad gave him a max deal, he sees something the numbers don’t. IMO he is a top 3 basketball mind on the planet right now.
