    Based on , stats? A woman's intuition?

    Or are you assessing how their skill sets and mental characteristics translate against the highest level of nba defense. Butlers offensive repertoire is limited so unless he dramatically improves his ability to be canny, which has flatlined, he's not going to be that guy.

    Who's #1 SG right now? Sure isn't Harden.

    But Harden will be there by year-end

    What are you even talking about, what's there to even get in your post? All I see is a bunch of ESPN, sports dribble... "impose his will"... and some half assed disparaging comparison to Pippen

    Garbage post, with bizarre bait tactics

    What's your stuff based on, stats? A woman's intuition?

    Giannis will win it. Bradley Beal shoots 20 shots to get 20 points, and thats to go with his 1 rebound 0 assist stat line.

    Why in the world isn't CJ in the running?
    Its most improved player. CJ went from never playing and/or hurt to looking like a legitimate second option.

    God I hate nicknames.

    In this thread I've been confused about who JB and CJ are.

    Had to spend a full minute thinking about who each is.

    CJ is what McCollum goes by

    He shoots 17.9 shots for 22.7 points to go with 4.8 reb and 2.5 apg.
    At least look it up before talking nonsense.

    Bradley Beal has suffered a shoulder injury and there have been no further news for two days which is worrying.

    Not if Trashquez has his way. There is a reason GA takes only 10 FGA. The guards are idiots.
    Besides GA has problems right now he needs to be more decisive and not pass the ball to the chuckers.

    Yes he is. As are many other players. It's only been 6 games ffs!
    It's extremely soon. The one who will win it will be the one who is the more consistent with his improvement over a period of games.

    Right now that's Drummond who has the lead not Beal imo.

    I forgot about CJ. You are right that he is probably the front runner.

    Just looked at the stats, McCollum should honestly win this with every vote possible.

    14/15: 6.8 ppg, 1.5 rpg, 1.0 apg
    15/16: 21.6 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 3.3 apg

    This is completely insane, so far went from statistical scrub to all-star stats.

    Listen jabroni's,

    Pointless to look at stats and efficiency in the first month of the season, but if we did, Beal is the #2 SG out there.

    23 ppg on .485 shooting, while Butler, Thompson and Wade are below 44%. Defensively, Butler is far ahead but lacks Beal's all around creaminess. The guy is smooth, a natural stroke and ability to get to the basket, and the lateral movement to be a lock down defender when pressed. This is with little motivation for effort so far.

    Consider . . . Beal had a flawless game and led the Wiz to a win over the Spurs with Leonard guarding him most of the time. Doesn't have to rely on a system which doesn't necessarily make him better, but a guy you expect will keep figuring things out.


    I have the ability to see a player's talents, ceiling and project it onto a career path, and that's why you see this thread. Not based on the stats of 2 weeks.

    Drummond leads the race for the MIP, but I don't expect him to keep up these numbers once teams start game planning for him. He got boxed out by Munrue last year so he had limited operating space, but now teams have no choice but to take notice. Remember, Whiteside had a big streak of games last year and teams have adjusted this year for the most part, keeping his averages at a human level. A great talent at 23 and deserving of max money next year.

    Too, Doo, Doo Doo,

    Real steal and good thinking, was a bit expected for him to explode (but not this current level) with their new roster.

    Just like what I had posted earlier about him being injury prone.

    Good thing I flipped him and LaMarcus Aldridge for Damien Lillard.
