Same goes for Westbrook who I consider the worst player of all of these (by a shade). He has a bigger impact on offense and slightly better impact on defense than the latter two players. It's arguable that Davis was or will immediately be better than Curry but just as easily argued that Curry had a better season. Lol, no one was calling GSW stacked the season before and it's practically the same team. Curry's defense has more positive impact than Melo. He also plays in a position where defense hurts you the least, and he's clearly a much better offensive player.

The difference with GSW was Kerr and the emergence of Green and Klay though...
Im not sure about advanced stats but Curry put up similar numbers in 2014 to 2015. He was more efficient and cut down on his turnovers iirc.
And Curry's shot selection is pretty bad too
Just because it goes in does not make it a good shot lol

Also Cousins is not better than Blake imo
Blake is just a notch under AD in my eyes
I do think Cousins is better than Aldridge though

His pure numbers were almost identical.. His efficiency took a jump up, but I already posted in another thread how many open looks he had this year. He was the best player on the best team in the league no question about it, but that "best team" paid massive dividends to his game as well, and he's now to the point that people are somewhat overrating him.

All of them are pretty close, I'm glad it's reflected that way in the game.

Ugh read previous posts jesus. DRPM TAKES INTO ACCOUNT and eliminates the otherwise skewing of curry's defensive box minus from teammates. Yes his teammates are great defenders, but he was still a net positive in DRPM, leading all pg's irrespective of how good his teammates are. Im just going to start ignoring these posts when people don't understand advanced stats at all and their arguments are based off media/previous nba seasons.

To further illuminate in case you still don't understand, an example of how DRPM works, The spurs were one of the best defensive teams in the NBA,and tony parker was on the court with Danny Green, Kawhi, Duncan etc all good to elite defenders just like curry however Tony parker still had a DRPM of - 3.33, 2nd worst among pg's to only zach lavine because the statistic eliminates skewing from his teammates.

DRPM is based on points per 100 possessions though. Which Does factor in how good your team defense is.
