TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[mvossman]

Knock, knock.
Who's there?
2023.

Middleton has been injured and awful.  Jrue is one of my favorite players (I thought he was the perfect backcourt mate for Luka when NOLA traded him for spare parts), but I would definitely say Wood is at his level right now.  Din is a notch below, but we're making distinctions without making a difference.

What is my definition of a B+ player?  I already said...  on the cusp of being an Allstar.   The last 15 games:
Din - 16.1pts, 2.5rbs, 4.8asts, 46.9fg%, 39.3%3pt, .4stls
Wood - 20pts, 9rbs, 2.1asts, 53.2fg%, 38.6%3pt, 2.5blks
Holiday - 16.8pts, 7.1asts, 4.3rbs, 44.4fg%, 40%3pt, 1.1stls

Not identical, but certainly on the same level.

You brought up 2021, not me.  You were comparing the 2021 champion Bucks to the current Mavs.  Obviously in that comparison we are looking at the Bucks players at that time.  

I already explained the big difference between Holiday/Middleton vs Wood/Dinwiddie is defense, and you come back with boxscore stats that are nearly useless to assess defense.
