Current Players NBA Draft Round 1: t.work vs. JustTheTip

Durand is better than Kawhi and Jokic is the third best player.
Yeah, I did tell him that. He explained to me that his 1980 season was an outlier. Said something like "that should be clear to even the most casual observer" and mentioned a guy I never heard of named Kareem (apparently scored a lot of buckets).
He then asked me why I did not understand that most top teams have their core players in late 20s/ early 30s and rarely have a rookie PG in a key role.
Derrick Rose: 41 wins
John Stockton: 41 wins
Steve Nash: 40 wins
Isiah Thomas: 39 wins
Chris Paul: 38 wins
Jason Kidd: 36 wins
Steph Curry: 26 wins
Magic Johnson: 60 wins
I felt pretty humbled after he finished explaining all this to me.
Care to look at the rest of the data? Here is a list of other power teams led by rookie PGs.

Durant is not better than Kawhi.
To each his own. Its not really close for me, Durant is a better all around player.
Durant's stock is up due to his finals performance. But he plays on the Warriors. Kawhi is a more complete player, and is an amazing system player. He might be as good as Jordan in a couple of years.
Durant has been the second best player in the NBA for a long time. But yes being the best player on the court in the Finals with a bunch of super stars does drive up ones stock. I do like Kawhi though. I dont see him reaching Jordan level or even Lebron level, and not even Durants level.
