Who's the better gunner - Morant or prime Arenas?

Gilbert Arenas. Gil shot better, could play off ball at times and fit into various systems. Ja needs the ball to be effective. Neither are world stoppers with passing or defense.

"Who's the better gunner?" -- are we talking basketball or career destruction with firearms?

Basketball lol. But the phrasing is intentional of course

Peak Arenas had more of an overall game while Ja is really just a good slasher at this point in time.

Difference in diversity of offensive attributes doesn't mean the more diverse player is the better one

So was Larry inferior to Dominique based on your criteria?

A vote for Gilbert Arenas. His scoring ability, especially from beyond the arc brings me a strong impression.

I said "Difference in diversity of offensive attributes doesn't mean the more diverse player is the better one".

This in way even close to mean "The more diverse player is necessarily the worse player".
