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?

Re: Better player this year: Kyrie or Brunson
Their play levels are comparable, but Brunson has played way more games.
