- much better sidekick than giannis or harden (or jokic for that matter, although he has moved ahead of jokic on my ballot)
- george ranks highly in all the categories that matter (player impact plus-minus, player impact estimate, win shares, box plus-minus, value over replacement player, player efficiency rating, real plus-minus, wins above replacement player) but isn't the actual leader in any of them, while giannis and harden are
so he's definitely behind giannis and harden for me, but solidly in 3rd. dude is killing shit, basically having a 2014 KD season with 2016 steph shooting and 2017 kawhi defense. sick.

it is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. - sherlock holmes
