Ok. With the Durant George Im basing it on George being 2 years younger and taking huge steps forward. I still dont think its as lopsided as you do, but I guess I can concede that Durant is more polished right now.
As for Love and Aldridge, I think Love is better and its pretty clear. The numbers don’t lie….
Love is 25 and 14 w/ a plus 27 player efficiency rating. Aldridge is 23 and 11 w/ a sub 24 player efficiency rating. Aldridge is also 28, Love is 25….
Love also is 5 rebounds a game better then Aldridge for career stats…. Not even close there.
Aldridge is an admirable player, and is probably a top 10 player right now due to guys like Carmelo, Rondo and Rose dropping off from that top 10 level. So this is no knock on Aldridge I just prefer Love and I think the stats back that up.
Not to mention that Aldridge has a lot better parts around him. He is part of a 1 and 1a type thing with the PG. Love is it for Minnesota.
