https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-nba-player-projections I entered Westbrooks and John Wall's name.. my goodness.. they might literally have the 2 worst contracts in league history also when Harden is healthy he is by far the best player on the Nets according to this metric also was really shocked to see how they rated steph curry, definitely not an mvp candidate like the media proclaimed( they labeled curry as just merely an all-star according to this metric) jalen green is compared to some really good rookie prospects of the past .... as is cade cunningham
https://www.nba.com/2021-all-star-roster entered all the names of the entire 2021 all star team in that metric and europe appears to be taking over this 538 metric has harden rated as the best american player in the world. who woulda thunk it? after the 2009 draft class is gone and retired its gonna europe in control for the foreseeable future i think its also telling that harden the american with the most european type of game is seen as the best along with giannis, luka, embiid and jokic
crazy how harden is seen as the best american player in the world according to this metric and didnt even make all-nba
I'm not! Just saying, the categories by which some of these players are sorted into, are hilarious / hilariously worded. Also, of the "MVP candidates" so far (I think there are only 3 of them?), their comparisons are so far and away from each other. Harden's closest comparison is '95 Jordan. Giannis' closest comparison is '18 Cousins. Luka's closest comparison is '12 Russell Westbrook. One gets compared to Jordan while the other two get compared to Cousins and Westbrook. LOL
