And although I was a skeptic is too strong of a word, I had at various points of the season Anthony Edwards ahead of him.

Donovan Mitchell ahead of him.

You could make a Kawhi argument based on advanced stats.

I think I'd put Jalen Brown in the last all NBA spot at this point.

Anthony Edwards has missed some games.

Donovan Mitchell's just kind of been in a weird shooting slump for two, three, four weeks now.

And Kawhi just, you know, he hasn't played as many games as many minutes.

I'm looking at the minutes right now.

Jalen Brown has played the most minutes of all of those four guys.

He's played about 300 more than Kawhi.

and 250 more than ant.

And the advanced stats are, which always disadvantaged Jalen brown.

There's just something about his game, whether it's assist to turnovers, the number of mid range jumpers, he makes whatever that the advanced stats don't love.

They're actually kind of narrowing to the point where team record individual performance minutes played.

I think Jalen brown will get and deserves to get the last first deal on the VA spot.

I think, look, Kawhi's better than Jalen Brown.

Yeah.

I don't think that's really up for serious debate.

But the numbers this season, Jalen Brown's averaging 28.8 points a game.

Kawhi's at 28.1.
