Herbalife Jones is killing it this year.
Current Shai or Paul George?
I’d say Shai was better than George for the last two years.
Which means the Clippers had 3 years to win a title when they first traded for George, they monumentally failed
Current SGA or Prime Paul George? Actually an interesting discussion. Hard to say without any playoff runs from Shai, but he’s a legit superstar. I hope he wins MVP in the near future. If you’re talking about current PG, Shai obviously
ADPOY
The NBA GMs survey didn’t have him in top 10 defenders in the league.
And yet somehow Kawhi made the top 4-5 🤦♂️
Scottie Barnes isn’t 7 feet tall but I take your overall point
He plays like he is.
Scottie changes the game entirely. When he’s on the floor, he might not always get the block, but his mere presence is dissuading people from driving anywhere near him.
Herbert Keyshawn Jones. That is all.
3 way tie at 10th spot but op didn’t include embiid and Ausar Thompson for some lazy ass reason
Ad isn’t a 7 footer…
Thinking of Herb as a guard is icky lol. Like I wouldn’t call OG a shooting guard even tho that’s technically what he is by lineup
Cool stat and AD almost counts as a center with his massive arm span but he’s 6’10"
Herbert Keyshawn Jones saved u/retropels life!
Herb jones fucks the clippers no Vaseline every time we play the pelicans. Hurts me but damn is he good
As of now is AD the dpoy favourite?
