Lowest reasonable ranking acceptable for KG?

...

I'd personally say KG is a two-way player up to his 2009 injury, defensive specialist from there on.

The Spurs made meaningful gains in 04 because Parker and Manu got considerably better as players in 04 (and again in 05).

Lol how exactly did Parker get better. Again, just saying things.

Manu similarly did not improve so much as play 800 more minutes, and that at least is indeed worth a couple of wins in itself, but…

I'll give you Parker, but....
Manu's usage/scoring rate went up, his rebounding rate went up, his assist rate went up. His rTS% got 1.7% worse [still comfortably above league average], however, his turnover economy got substantially better. His steal and block rates went down slightly, however, his foul rate improved substantially.

'03: 14.7 PER, .141 WS/48, +1.9 BPM, +0.8 RAPM
'04: 18.5 PER, .194 WS/48, +4.7 BPM, +1.9 RAPM

fwiw...
'03 ps: 15.0 PER, .152 WS/48, +3.7 BPM
'04 ps: 22.2 PER, .224 WS/48, +7.2 BPM


Seems rather bad form to brush that off as not significant improvement while simultaneously accusing someone of "just saying things".

Also, is it absolutely necessary that you be sort of nasty in each and every disagreement? Not everyone is wrong, or stupid, or deliberately arguing in bad faith, or otherwise meriting your contempt simply because they disagree.
