And how 22.3 vs. 19.2 is equal? Luka is better in points and rebounds, Trae in assists. Shooting numbers are similar. Trae is lately much better in 3s but maybe you might look how Trae is shooting for 2 in last month.
22/6.5 is roughly equal to 19.2/7.8 in terms of directly contributed points. In fact, it's surprisingly almost the same. I'd actually argue that I'd rather have Trae's numbers because it's getting more people involved in the scoring but that's splitting hairs.
You can go ahead and admit that Trae has been at least equal to Luka since 12/1. It's ok. I'll even let the 4 point difference in 3 point % slide.
Yes you can say that points and assists equals out. But we have still big difference in rebounds. And if you’re talking about 3pts%, you should Look at Trae’s 2pt%, which is especially in February extremely poor. If everything else is similar, rebounds are not. But let say that they are equal in raw stats and efficiency, will we talk about advanced stats, like RPM, BPM, WORP...? Because it’s not only raw stats and efficiency, which determine who’s better.
I said Trae is great lately and clear second best rookie. But I just cannot say ROY race is close, because it isn’t. Maybe if Luka forgets to shoot like Fultz, Trae has still a chance, but how likely is that? Trae’s last 2 games were really insane, but how likely is, that he will play 42 minutes till the end of the season or better, why would Hawks risk potentially injury playing him that much? RC is clearly saving Luka in last games.
yeah, the winkies make me uncomfortable
