Jalen Brunson or Anthony Edwards: Who is the better player right now?
Stats this year:
Regular season:
Brunson: 26/3/7 with 2.5 TOV on 49/38/82 shooting (61 TS%)
Edwards: 28/6/5 with 3.2 TOV on 45/40/84 shooting (60 TS%)
Brunson was ahead in PER, offensive WS/48, WS/48, and offensive BPM.
Ant was ahead in defensive WS/48, defensive BPM, BPM, and VORP.
Playoff stats over the last 2 seasons:
Brunson: 31/3/7 with 2.9 TOV on 45/34/82 shooting (56 TS%)
Edwards: 27/7/6 with 2.9 TOV on 47/38/77 shooting (58 TS%)
Brunson is the more polished offensive player, but Ant is the better defender and more athletic. Brunson is 28 while Ant is 23, so Ant pretty easily has the higher ceiling, but who is the better player as of right now? And who would you rather have if you were trying to win this season?
