I mean, I don't think that Risacher is having a better season, though. They've both been bad.
Risacher still has worse impact metrics, worse defensive metrics... and it's not like he's that much more efficient. People are getting excited about a couple big box score games. Castle has been more consistent and Risacher was really bad for 3/4 of the season.
Risacher has been more efficient on the season and has been killing it from the corners for quite some time now, actually. So there is some traction there.
Offensive efficiency isn't the only thing that goes into whether a player is having a better season than someone else. It's not even like Risacher has been that much more efficient either.
We're talking about 2 guys who are both bottom 3rd of the league. Risacher is 38th percentile in relative TS% and Castle is 21st. Risacher turns the ball over more & passes the ball much less. Castle has almost 10 more potential assists per game. I know they have different roles but it's still all part of the story.
