I actually really like this kind of list because it’s not claiming that one player is better than the other it’s just ranking snapshots of their season so far. For example SGA is my favorite player. Do I think he’s better than Giannis overall? Not really. But is he having a better season so far? Yeah. I think this is a great way to acknowledge what players are doing without having to definitively say that one is better than the other.

@@yodahekidanu9006 I mean comparing a guard’s stats to a big’s stats is always a weird comparison because they do such different things but looking purely at the numbers the only basic statistical categories that Giannis is clearly ahead of SGA in are rebounds and blocks. I haven’t looked at advanced stats so maybe those favor Giannis but my original comment wasn’t about just stats. The Thunder and the Bucks have basically the same record rn. Going into the year which one of those teams would you have said is better? That’s why I think SGA has had a better season so far. The Thunder go as he goes and as of right now they are second in the west, where nobody thought they’d be.

That combined with the fact that he doesn’t have anybody of Dame’s caliber on his team to take defensive pressure off him and he’s still putting up mvp type numbers is why I said I believe Shai has had a better start to the season.

"Hard to argue with numbers." I don't think it is "hard to argue with numbers" there are games where if I look at the boxscore, it'll say one thing, if I see the game I walk away with a completely different opinion. I've seen a clip recently where a team was allowed a timeout when they didn't have possesion, when it was a 2 point game with like less than 10 seconds left. These numbers seem to be very heavily reliant on wins, so imagine one team has 2-3 wins that it really shouldn't have. Games are sometimes decided by 1-2 points, and multiple bad calls and foul trouble or ejections can have huge impacts on games. Anyways a win here, a win there, and this list would probably look way different (also any team that shouldn't have lost would now have a win where they had a loss) like there are times when someone can look at a boxscore and think one thing then if they see the game, they might see a charge called where it should've a blocking foul. A couple of charges can put a player into foul trouble and limit their minutes. While a blocking foul likely would give them free throws.

I think it’s safe to say this formula should be scrapped😂

stats in general are useful, relying on a single stat that ignores so much is not. especially since the metric seems to be almost entirely based on game score, which is just putting standard box score numbers through a formula. If you are going to use stats alone to rank players imho you need to at least look at basic on/off numbers and how their team offense and defense looks when they are on the court. Basketball games aren't won simply by box score numbers.

Smart article by Bleacher Report. Like Kenny said toward the end of the video, it's all stats so people can't really argue against it, but rankings get people clicking and talking.

What’s tht site he showed one time where u can click on stats and u can watch them. Like in a game log, I can click on curry 3pt attempts, and I can watch all the shots?

It’s always a good day when Kenny posts

Franz and Paolo being in the 40s in this ranking makes sense. The methodology focuses on offense. And the magic dominate on defense so they don’t produce high offense stats.

They dissed LaMelo Ball. Hes easily better than half this list

Im young so i've been following the league from 2009. In that time i have never seen a player have a debut season with such maturity amd readiness to lead his team to playoff success as Chet Holgrem.
