SGA is top 3 globally right now, and the team is special - we OKC fans be eating good this NBA season.

Luka has two NEGATIVE ON/OFF DIFFERENTIAL SEASONS... And the other three seasons he was BARELY a positive No other player considered anywhere NEAR the top 5 has EVER had their team be BETTER WITH THEM OFF THE COURT THAN ON IT LOL C. Luka is the worst transition defensive player I've ever seen in my life... He Constantly can't get his fat ass back on defense and leaves his team to defend 5 guys with 4... Which is why the Mavs are better without him on the court half the time D. Other than jokic and stroh who are anomalys offensively... All of the other players near the top 5 are GOOD ON BOTH OFFENSE AND DEFENSE... SOME ELITE... Such as Giannis, embiid, Tatum, sga etc... E.

Shai would not have had the same development with kawhi as his sf. I think he has been doing this well because of his role as the leader in the locker room and on the floor. Shai came in with Chris Paul and had numbers similar to his rookie year. Granted this was his second season, however, a 12 ppg jump from year 2 to 3 can’t mean he wasn’t that guy in year 1 and 2. It just means he wasn’t getting the touches he needed.

Comparing FG % is a pointless stat. Reason is it punishes 3 point shooters and you already have 3 point and FT stats. It should be replaced with 2 point FG%. Tatum actually shoots slightly better than Shai from both 2 AND 3. Tatum is at 56% 2FG while Shai is 55%. Its really just free throws that gives Shai the eFG% edge.
