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

[dirkfansince1998]

It´s not RoCo or DFS. I want both.

While of course. Only V is acting like there is a huge debate on who is better.

Well DFS is clearly the better offensive player this year. Last I checked offense is half the game. So even if Covington is better on defense, it´s still a debate. Especially when you factor in age, trajectory and salaries.

I think that´s debatable. DFS is the more efficent scorer but he basically only takes wide open corner 3s or layups. He showed some improved passing and shot creation in the last few games but RoCo is asked to do more on offense and has the volume advantage.

RoCo is scoring 12.8 ppg on +1.0% rTS
DFS is scoring  9.5 ppg on +4.1% rTS

Looking at their splits it seems like RoCos volume advantage is getting bigger as the season progresses and his form returns. On the other hand DFS is more consistent from 3.

Nearly identical assist numbers. RoCo better per100. DFS better per game.

Offensive rebounding is probably the tie breaker in DFS favor. Overall I don´t see a big difference on offense. I do think that RoCo just like any other 3&D guy would increase his efficiency next to a playmaker like Luka.
