re: Who in the NBA would you take over Anthony Davis?

You do realize that bball isnt just about offense??

Paul George finished 2nd in the defensive POY voting last year. He is probably the best 2 way player in the NBA outside of Lebron, when he wants to play D. George guards the teams best offensive player, and goes against the teams best defensive player on offense. KD doesnt guard the other teams top player full time like George does.

Yea KD is possibly the best offensive player in the NBA. I know that. Im not saying Paul George is a better offensive player than KD. Because hes not. But, percentage wise, he and KD are pretty much the exact same this year. KD is shooting 45%, George is shooting 46%. And both are right about 36% from the 3. KD averages 4 more points than him. Thats it. And George is 1 of the best defenders in the entire NBA.

KD is a better offensive player than George, but not by much. And George is clearly a flat out better defender than Durant.

And George is still 2 years younger than KD. Not saying that means much, but just a fact.

But your just looking at it from an offensive stats point of view. Of course KD has better offensive stats. Hes arguably the best pure offensive player in the NBA. George isnt the best, but hes a top 15 scorer. And a top 5 defensive player. And still improving every year. Meaning he hasnt hit his ceiling.
