But like Dame for example consistently gets ranked below shai despite both being on non playoff teams and putting up very similar stats. I’m not obligated to defend dame anymore but as someone who watched all his games last year I don’t see how you can use age to put him below shai.
He can be a top 10 player this season. My point was people were already putting him there last season when he hadn’t earned it.
I mean, he finished 5th in MVP voting, so top 10 isn’t crazy at all.
It is crazy when the top 12 is stacked. Jokic Giannis Steph Luka Tatum Embiid Book KD Lebron AD Butler Dame
It just seems like all those players had to do significantly more to break into the top 10. But Shai is likeable so he gets put in prematurely.
Some of these guys are getting old, it’s not crazy at all to think that Shai is now better than them. I wouldn’t agree, but I don’t think it’s crazy.

Similar stats on offense. They aren’t close in defense. Shai is legit on defense too.
lol
Wait, do you really think Dame is as positive a defender as SGA is?
lol
For the third time, it’s very possible he can be better than them this season, but what did he do last season to be better than 3 of those guys.
