    Agreed, I prefer a more holistic approach myself with film, rules of the era, data, team support and competition etc. But I do appreciate a person who tries to back up their takes with data when used in the correct context, along with other info besides just personal opinion or feelings. I don't agree with the OP, but appreciate the attempt basically.

    Kobe's 13 all defense teams are the most fraudulent awards in sports this side of Jeter's gold gloves. In his younger years, sure, but he was no where near a top 4 defensive wing past his 25th birthday.

    People seem to forget that Eason has a lower TS% than Jalen. He has a LONG way to go before reaching KL levels.

    54% vs 53%

    Tari's Improved. Jalen's is worse than his rookie year.

    Going from .525 to .528 is not marked improvement.

    Wish @JCDenton would make an appearance! Stats without a graph is like wearing shoes without socks!

    Also important is that JLin had only one such stretch in his career. JGreen seems so make it a yearly thing during that one month every season when his head is screwed on straight.

    That's why I see Jalen as a solvable problem, or at least one with a potential solution that should make us think twice about trading him this summer.

    I've seen enough.

    Trade Tari Eason.
