madawg....do you watch basketball?  can you read stats?

do you honestly believe that Tyreke Evans is better than Bradley Beal?

In the handful of games this season Beal has been better, but Evans was better last season than Beal has ever been.

Beal was hurt a lot last year, and is now significantly better.  Not sure why you would attempt to argue that.  Kevin Martin and Manu?  Seriously?

Dafuq?  No.  Last season Evans average more points per minute on better efficiency, and was a much better passer.  Actually compare the numbers between Evans and Beal.

Yes, Martin and Manu.  They both beat Beal in points per minute and efficiency.

Did I say Beal was better last year? 

And per minute doesn't really matter....bc those guys don't play the same number of minutes for a reason

Yes, per minutes matter.  With all things being equal, would you rather have a guy that scores 12 points in 24 mpg or a guy that scores 15 points in 36 minutes per game?

Also, the roster surrounding those guys matter.  Just because Beal has to play a lot of minutes, because there is not decent SG behind him does not mean he is better than Kevin Martin, who is on a deeper team.

All other things ARE NOT equal, so that is a moot point.

True, like the guys I mentioned are more efficient than Beal.

Nice argument.  If you want to prove something, how about you use some facts?
