Shai’s biggest knock is that he didn’t make the playoffs last year, but Luka didn’t even make the play-in. Yes, Luka has performed in the playoffs before, but I don’t know why it’s crazy to say that they’re at least somewhat comparable
Luka has proven himself in the post season, Shai has not. Shai is the only player I’ve seen this sub give the benefit of the doubt before they’ve performed in the playoffs. Can he end up neck and neck with Luka one day? Absolutely. Is he there now just because he had a good regular season? No.

Thank you. Odds are Shai will be in that conversation, and deservingly so, by the end of this season. But he isn’t there yet.
