    So.

    Kemba's the lead guard on a shitty team. That's like saying Kevin Love's numbers are true and good when he played for Minny.

    Good numbers on a bad team mean nothing. Let's see CJ playing point for a whole season.

    Lol why would I? They’re all objectively better. I agree though, you’re definitely biased.

    Devin Booker plays on a shitty team and puts up numbers. I would NOT want Derozan instead of CJ. You would? He is probably a worse defender. Simmons can't shoot for shit and never will be able to.

    Kemba, again putting up numbers on a shitty team.

    Guys can't have it both ways. People in here always talk about putting up numbers on a bad team as being a detriment but not now?

    What proof do you have that CJ is actually better? Minimizing them because they play on bad teams is a cop out because the last time I checked, we weren’t talking about tennis. Booker is 22 years old and put up superior numbers across the board to 27 year old McCollum. Where was CJ at 22?

    And yes I would take DeRozan over CJ, as he grades out better in pretty much every category. Worse defender? Lol good one, too bad it isn’t backed up by any metric. DeRozan had a DBPM of 0.5 last year. McCollum? -1.9.

    But I’m sure you’ll ignore the numbers and tell everyone how you know better. Whatever.

    I’d take Booker over CJ but DeRozan is probably on the same level. I rather have CJ for our team because of his shooting.

    Lebron's team sucks this year so his 28-8-8 is meaningless.

    Seriously tho, just because you disagree with me doesn't mean you need to talk shit.

    I simply disagree, I'm not being disagreeable.

    Grow the fuck up.

    Doesn’t mean shit. Lillard was stat padding his rookie year as well.

    I think from 15ish to like 35ish the talent gap isnt that big, could kind of put them in a hat pull a name out and make a case for them if that makes sense. Just my opinion.

    Look.. It matters that Booker plays on a bad team. Not sure why it doesn't to you but whatever:

    CJ's numbers are better. Booker is NOT a good defender either. CJ is better there too.

    Now instead of cumulative give me the numbers from last season. And despite bookers defensive splits, he still graded out as a better player. Put him on a good team (or at least one that plays some defense) and I bet the gap would get wider.

    "Our"? I think it might be time to revoke someone's mod credentials.
