    this is still extremely contextual though, you added 4 filters to your data set if i want to know a players ability in a certain area i dont compare him solely against above average players because that skews what im looking at dont know what was originally said at this point but feels like...

    making claims that he's the best defensive player in the draft have even less merit when he goes out and commits 7 personal fouls en route to some guy who didn't even get drafted dropping 36 on him did you read the article at all? dont think you even read the title/headline... theyre saying he...

    this is the take everyone keeps coming back to that holds no water because if it were an issue then he wouldn’t have signed after the season like he did they only left after reneging on like three different contracts they signed
