It's very hard for me to say someone whose .500 with a good cast is better even if his numbers have been good and there are other circumstances are at play

I can I give a cop-out answer and say KD because of games played? 22 games played for him compared to 13 for Embiid matters considering we are only around a quarter of the way through the RS.

What about on a per game basis?

Will give it to Durant, but it is early. I had Embiid as better on a per game basis in the prior two regular seasons, and part of the reason I take Durant is because he has performed what I would call unsustainably well on defence thus far.

Might say, Embiid I think...though I am unconfident on that.

Like KD is legit averaging an IA 30 pts per 75 on TS% of 9.5%. And I feel like it isn't being talked enough about.

Actually, I think this video opened my eyes a bit, and makes me lean more Durant now
