Over his career, Steph has shot 65% from 0-3 feet out, as opposed to Kyrie’s 61% from that same distance. Kyrie has been renowned as an other-worldly finisher at the rim, but he has actually shot a lower percentage at the rim in his career than Steph. When it comes to comparing “skill” stats, Curry beats out Kyrie in almost every category. After that, there’s less statistical factors to consider as well-ability to perform in the clutch, a player’s “bag”, athleticism, gravity, etc. It’s true that skill is a vague attribute to quantify, but when most think of a skilled basketball player, they take the main statistical categories into consideration: scoring, passing, rebounding, shooting efficiency, etc. But that's the hardest projection entering the 2022-2023 season.So, are Durant and James right? Or do they even have a fair argument? In my opinion, they may have a fair argument, but they aren’t right. If you get 55-plus games out of Irving, you have a huge discount on a Top 20 fantasy producer. His efficiency is unquestioned, reaching 40% or better in five of the last six seasons. The problem is Irving has played a total of just 103 games over the past three seasons. Irving ranked 14th in FPPG (44.8), averaging 27.4 PPG with 4.4 RPG and 5.8 APG. When Kyrie Irving plays, he's a superstar. Curry is averaging 3.6 fewer points and 2.9 fewer 3PA with Thompson on the court.Īnother difficult player to rank.
