2689171, Because you're not comparing apples to apples Posted by bentagain, Wed Feb-27-19 12:06 PM
Hmm...what's different about BI's 3rd season...I can't imagine, LOL
But to drill down more on my point about the start of the other players mentioned careers
Jimmy, PG, Kawhi, and yes, believe it or not, even Giannis, all started their careers for playoff teams
that is to say, they weren't immediately starters, and had to work their way into the lineups
Take PG for example
He sat behind Danny Grangier, until Grangier's injury
which makes his stats for his first 2 seasons less impressive statistically because they weren't given the same opportunity as BI
...so IRT to your 3rd season mountaintop, you're not comparing apples to apples...
3rd season comparison on BI and Wiggy
https://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pcm_finder.fcgi?request=1&sum=0&player_id1_hint=Andrew+Wiggins&player_id1_select=Andrew+Wiggins&y1=2017&player_id1=wiggian01&idx=players&player_id2_hint=Brandon+Ingram&player_id2_select=Brandon+Ingram&y2=2019&player_id2=ingrabr01&idx=players
Anybody claiming Wiggy is on a trajectory to be an MVP candidate?
Wiggy's good for a 40pt game every now and again...but BI puts up a couple of 30pt games in year 3...and he's going to be better than...errybody?
FOH.
