It's all good lol. Sorry if I came across as rude or anything; I think I've just gotten annoyed with sites like ESPN listing Middleton as a PF and various writers saying Milwaukee now has a log jam at SF and nobody to play SG.

The top wings in DRtg were; 1. Tony Allen 2. Khris Middleton 3. Andre Iguodala 4. Kawhi Leonard 5. Klay Thompson 16th Butler With Butler on the floor Chicago gave up 0.1 more points per 100 possessions than they do when he's benched. They allow a better eFG% when Butler is on the floor and they allow the exact same amount of assisted field goals when Butler is on the floor as they do when he's sitting. With Klay on the floor Golden State give up 2.1 points less per 100 possessions than they do when he's benched. The opponents eFG% is worse and they don't allow as many assisted field goals. The numbers say Klay is better defensively and in terms of scoring. However... I do think there's a very solid argument to be made for Butler being better. I think Butler is a better ball hander (clearly). I actually think Butler is better defensively than the numbers give him credit for simply due to his versatility, he's a little stronger which allows him to guard stronger SFs like LeBron which Klay can do to an extent but not nearly as well. However, you're selling Klay short thinking all he does is shoot 3's. That's not true in the slightest. Klay is the best 3 and D player in the league behind Middleton (IMO) but he can score in a variety of ways. I think his other scoring ability is completely underrated. He's a true shooting guard. http://youtu.be/GwN9kfrT8Ak http://youtu.be/-bspe0hlJns I wouldn't mind if Butler and Klays overall was switched around. But I don't think it's a clear cut X is better than Y. It's pretty damn close.

I never underrated Klay tho , he does a lot of good things just some not as good as Jimmy . Scoring from a shooting stand point he's def better than Jimmy but in terms of getting to the basket Jimmy is better . Never said he wasn't good in that area just not better than Jimmy at it . He's not s better rebounder than Jimmy , I don't think he has a motor from a stamina aspect as Jimmy either . I have him as the third best SG because of his disappearing act in the finals . Also on the defensive thing , The Bulls defense wasn't that great last season . Klay has some of he best defenders next to him with Iggy / Bogut/ Green . Who helping Is Jimmy butler , def not Taj who was playing with a torn ligaments in his ankle and Noah who was playing with a bum knee looking like a shell of his dpoty self .

Jimmy beat him in passing / Rebounding / Steals / FTA and Klays defense is nice but as far as wings go Jimmy is the 3rd best wing defender in the league behind Leonard and Allen. Iggy was guarding Bron in the finals not Klay . Also noted Jimmy is a better ball handler

What about kwahi?

That's great. Definitely a big part of basketball. So is scoring within the 3 point line and getting to the foul line. Two things Butler does a much better job at.

He's a SF , though if he was a SG just like this current convo it would be a three team race for 2nd best SG . He would be the better defender out of the bunch tho .

What's the sample size of that 9% tho ? Prob not as big as Jimmy seeing Klay is s more perimeter orientated player .

I listed him in that post ........ His last name is Leonard and I ranked Jimmy 3rd behind them personally . Last season Bulls defense was underwhelming outside of Jimmy and Paus blocks .

Why does it matter that Butlers best season by far was last year? The only thing that shows me that he has continually made massive improvements as a player and that he can be expected to make that jump again this year. Klay is definitely a better shooter but you have to look at the context of stars. Klay played next to the best shooter of all time and obviously while he's already a great shooter that still helped him. Butler was the primary option while playing the other teams best perimeter player every night and also played 38 MPG. Basically he had to work harder for his shots and he was more tired than Klay was while taking his shots. I have no doubt Butler could put up better numbers in GS than he does in Chicago.

Minutes absolutely matter. Of course Klay is going to be more efficient. He's playing 32 MPG while Butler is playing 38 MPG.

Again, very nice 2K. You had Harden one point higher than I would have (actually 2 because of my personal distain for him), and one point higher for Klay as well, but solid job.

Wade seems to be a bit high because of a legacy bump, but it's nothing close to the travesty at #5.

Solid job with two positions so far.

He said Leonard in the post. I assume that's referring to his last name.

Well if winning Finals MVP can't get you above 80, not exactly fair for one bad Finals game to tank your rating then is it?

# 79 Mauer4MVP @ 09/18/15 04:36 PM

I wonder if Mike Stauffer is going to take people's requests like last night?

It seems like they're letting their team really shine with revealing little by little which is pretty cool.
