Better player this year: Kyrie or Brunson

Same question as poll / headline states.

Methinks Brunson, and he seems to be more impactful - though that could be situational.

I think Kyrie has done a very stupendous job ceiling raising while next to Luka (they have a +9 or so Net rating on court together), but I think Brunson’s edge in turnover economy, tough shot making (Kyrie is still great), and floor raising gives him the tangible edge here. Anything I may be missing?

Brunson, pretty clearly.

Their play levels are comparable, but Brunson has played way more games.
