He got robbed by the refs again last night, but make no mistake Lavine is right now a top 3 shooting guard in the league. I love Kyrie, but at this point Zach is simply better - less injury prone, more reliable, better off ball player and a better defender.

If he's so good then he should have his team in the playoffs, especially in the East

Lavine is the definition of inflated stats.

Kyrie is still a better player.

Offensively he's better by a nice margin. More efficient overall.

They both suck defensively but Kyrie actually sucks less than LaVine.

Kyrie is better defensively on a Points Per Possession basis and also in terms of Defensive Rating.

Zach LaVine is so bad defensively in terms of Points Per Possession that he ranks as one of the absolute worst defenders in the league - ranked 426th. Kyrie ranks 60 spots higher. Both bad but LaVine is worse.

Lavine has potential but he's clumsy. It might take year or more to finally get himself going.

How is Kyrie more efficient, Zach is 50/40/85 rn.

Also no chance Kyrie is a better defender, he just plays for better teams on defence. Lavine is bigger stronger and puts way more effort. Kyrie doesnt even try to play defence, Zach at least tries.

The disrespect Lavine gets is crazy.

Butler Brown and George are SFs... Harden, Beal, Lavine are top 3 SGs in the league
