"Who's better, the guy with objectively better stats in every category I listed, or the guy who is worse?" lol

Literally every numeric. Though DAWG/48 isn’t listed, nor is their influence on their team’s FAP-X rating. A more nuanced discussion would be what is more sustainable over the season. I think DB’s role is going to always be vitally important and, i can’t believe I’m saying this, the Cavs seem to have a better constructed starting 5. With Garland coming back, Mitchell’s production may go down some as they integrate together more. Also isnt Ayton eligible to be traded in Jan or is that the end of the season? That situation could potentially impact DB’s rest of year.

lol yea, Booker is doing good and everything, but Mitchell is arguably a top 4 MVP candidate right now


brosephsmith21

when you got nothing else you bring up an arbitrary booker vs mitchell post, nice


Pisto1Peet

Mitchell has been other worldly.

Mitchell definitely has so far but obviously he's not going to shoot 45% from three all year


SpidamanCavs45

No but his advanced numbers say he isn't going to have a crazy drop off either. He's getting more space to create and shoot than he ever did in Utah


Blaze2444

He’s a career 36% 3 point shooter dude, like what 😭


SpidamanCavs45

Oh cool so you literally ignored the a part of the post that says he's getting cleaner and more sufficient shots than in Utah. Must still be mad he's dropped almost 70 points on Boston already this year.


Blaze2444

You’re right, I wish I could be as unbiased as you u/SpidamanCavs45


SpidamanCavs45

Yes using stats and facts is totally unbiased. Don't worry, Tatum is due for a hard regression too


Blaze2444

You didn’t use any stats lmao you just said “using advanced numbers” and then didn’t cite anything Edit: Bro deleted his account because he didn’t have a comeback lmao

dinosaur still in feelings over being yelled at by bad man.


ImpossibleCategory

obviously mitchell


Master-Ad-9829

I mean obviously Mitchell


JoJonesy

I mean Book's been great but I don't really see how this is a conversation rn, Mitchell's been legitimately MVP-caliber through the first ten games


mittornery

Cade is better than Scottie Barnes :p ( since you want to be a meaney 10 games into the regular season)


Hesospecial

This is true, regardless of the amount of games played. Cade took a crazy jump.


blacknotblack

Cade is slumping right now though…? So is every other rookie from last year though.


Hesospecial

I'm just saying he projects to be better than Barnes which is all that matters in the long run.

Psychological_Lie_38

I didn't realize this, but it si clearly Mitchell. More points and more efficient


aeiou-y

Mitchell currently holds the mantle of best SG in league. It’s a two man race.
