Around SBN: Shaq As Orlando Magic General Manager? Don't Bet On It

Completely meaningless, but interesting nonetheless

Player A is scoring 16.2 ppg, to go along with 6.2 assists and 6.5 rebounds. He is shooting 41 percent from the field, and turning the ball over 3.5 times a game on average. He plays just over 40 minutes a game.

Player B is scoring 15.6 ppg, to go along with 5.1 assists and 3.4 rebounds. He is shooting 44 percent from the field, and turning the ball over 2.9 times a game on average. He plays 27 minutes a game.



Star-divide

Player A is Lebron James 9 games through his rookie year, and Player B is Kyrie 9 games through his rookie year. You probably could've guessed these were the players I was comparing, and I'm not saying Kyrie is the next Lebron, but i was just curious about how the two compared and thought maybe you would be too.

40 minutes per game. Man, LeBron has played some insane minutes for 8+ years now.

Wow. I knew this but since they are different positions, I’d be more interested in comparing Kyrie Irving and Chris Paul’s rookie years.
