Oh AD is the better player if you are just looking at numbers. But as the guy you want leading your franchise the intangibles give dame the edge.. It is similar to how cousins stats wise is anout as good as it gets. But the whole package that you get when you get cousins isn’t just stats. You get the intangibles and lack of leadership and all the other stuff that hinders winning.

You can’t compare even prime Boogie talent level to AD’s talent level. They’re not even in the same ballpark. I understand where you’re coming from, but I disagree. I’ve watched AD get better every year and add elements to his game. He hasn’t even been “activated” yet imo. You’re basically saying if we threw all the players in a pool and did a snake draft, Lillard should go before AD. I whole heartedly disagree and my opinion of them as people could not be further apart. If you’re building from scratch, AD is the building piece. There’s so few players he wouldn’t be able to mesh well with outside of the “offense only PF/C guys”. He opens up so many possibilities for you. Dame kind of pigeon holes you into putting guys around him that are better or effective without the ball in their hands. Just shows how much of a frick Up Demps/ownership was at the time.
Your negatives on AD are valid. Lillard would check off the “leader/killer” tabs instantly, but I just wouldn’t place those as so irreplaceable that it can’t be addressed later in the build by say a Patrick Beverly type and a volume scorer like Lou Williams/Terry Rozier late if you need a closer.

I’ll put it this way man. You’d have to basically admit that CP3 is almost just as important as Harden, and I’m giving you that out by saying almost if you did it this past offseason. He showed last year he is very much the soul of that team and also that killer. Him getting hurt lost them that series imo. Just because Chris was the better leader/killer in the 17-18 playoffs doesn’t mean you would even CONSIDER building with CP3 over Harden. And we both know if you’re taking off the homer glasses CP3 had a better playoff run last year than Harden statistically as well.
