Who you got?

I mean Shai is the obvious choice if you look at the entirety of the regular season, but Ant is riding a hell of a high with his playoff performance so far.

Is Ant better at his age than Shai was? Will Ant be better on both sides at 25 than Shai is now?

There's a subforum for this.
Does two way.mean something else then overall? Is Luka a guard? Anyway, Ant is my fave ATM, but Shai and Luka were clearly better this year. Some others might be too.

SGA clearly if looking at Offense and Defense. Not close.

SGA has been way better in RS but we will see if SGA game translates in the playoffs.

My belief is it doesnt. Relies too much on foul baiting like Harden and Embiid.

If Ant is a 2-way guard so is Mitchell tbh

Isn't Shai a PG? He's listed as such at BBallRef IIRC.

Shai has something for the Ant truthers in the second round imo. Seems like the kind of guy who will have something to prove both this playoffs and the Olympics. He was clearly better in the regular season for what it’s worth.

Yes. 2 way means offense and defense for any guard.

Yes. This is more me being less high on Ant's defense than others, but yes

SGA at least has two first team all-nba and top 3 in MVP soon under his belt. Too soon to crown Ant based on limited playoff games. Not sure he replaces Booker yet who was more efficient, productive, and elite in two-ways last playoffs.

SGA was the best during the regular season. Ant has been the best during the playoffs so far.

It's SGA if you look at the larger sample size and aren't influenced by recency bias. So not at all surprising how the RealGM masses have voted on this one.

Ant is really starting to get overhyped.

PPG: Shai > Ant
APG: Shai > Ant
TS%: Shai > Ant

SPG: Shai > Ant
BPG: Shai > Ant
Deflections: Shai > Ant
DFG%: Ant > Shai (slightly)

It's pretty clear who the better two-way guard is.

Shai should win MVP, he won't, but he should.
