KD and Curry are both > Kawhi

[StrongLurk]

KD is the best player in the league and Curry might be number two (ahead of Lebronze at 3).

Curry has put up 35/7/6 on 65.1TS, 128 Offensive rating in the playoffs since KD went down. This is an incredibly high level of play, like as good as anybody on offense.

Curry has been the best player in the finals so far as well.

Kawhi is a great player, but I would take KD for sure of Kawhi and Curry as well.

Curry has a slightly higher offensive TEAM impact but Kawhi is similar to KD with what they offer to their teams offensively in terms of being able to completely control the offensive pace and getting safe and easy buckets whenever they want. Curry's style is more volatile and has huge ups as well as huge downs. KD and Kawhi's offensive games are much safer and trustworthy when it comes to deep playoff runs.

We don't even need to bring up the defensive end.

KD and Kawhi are both 1a/1b best in the world at the moment with Curry being #2.

Basketball games in a series are winner-take-all in nature. The ability to decisively win games outright if it can be done at a high enough rate is more important than consistency. The 2016 WCF showed this.

Individual offense is much more important than individual defense.

Curry overall (O/D) is slightly higher than Kawhi overall (O/D).

Curry has clearly been the best player in the finals. Kawhi is number 2.
