He's Pau-Jokic hybrid. I believe that he's more talented than Gasol and will end up being better than him but Jokic is once in a lifetime type of talent.
Do you believe in this? I'm pretty surprised how much the advanced stats like Jalen this season. Do you believe them with regards to brooks?
These are very specific advanced stats, as you already know, when you look at +/-, on/off, net rating, Brooks looks amazing and Jalen looks terrible. Alpi still looks amazing. Objectively, Alpi is a top 10 player in the league already. If you were to believe certain Rockets superfans - they still don't seem to believe in him anyway. Let's see if or when that ever changes.
Ya, the ratings stats make brooks look like our best player by far, but again i wouldn't take those very seriously in small sample sizes for role players. Their value is mainly for the main person who's actually driving the offense/defense for the team. You could play Nix 35 minutes, match his minutes with Jokic, and he'll look like a superstar by those stats.
