DoDo on the rise: Who's better than RoCo?

[vfromlmf]

Other options were Andrew Wiggins for A and Kawhi Leonard for C.

Figured that, based on the max deal at nearly 5x more money than Player B. It proves stats can be deceiving and don't tell the whole story. Ingram's numbers are on bad team while Kawhi is an MVP, with titles on two different teams. A true superstar.

See, X/Y constructs can be fun. 

Of course, superstars on max deals are totally different animal than role players. You wouldn't really make the argument that Ingram is on Kawhi's level, would you. You know five good $7 million role players don't equal one $35 million MVP. Just doesn't work that way. I wouldn't classify Ingram as a superstar. Booker isn't a superstar either. At this stage Ingram - like Booker - is looking like one of the great young scorers in this league though. He has star potential but does he make players around him better? I don't know. Maybe a better comparison would be Doncic's rookie deal versus Kawhi.

Another interesting comparison of top-flight G and F scorers might be Booker vs. Ingram vs. Beal vs. healthy Oladipo. Maybe throw Trae Young in there. Donovan Mitchell. Maybe some others. Beal & Oladipo are the most accomplished but also cost the most money. Beal is a star but certainly not an MVP candidate, at least with his current team.
