The most impactful players this year, via our LEBRON metric at [The_BBall_Index](https://twitter.com/The_BBall_Index):
Per 100 Possessions:
+6.69 Points: Jokic
+6.37: Luka
+6.27: Giannis
+5.73: Embiid
+5.46: SGA
On Aggregate (minutes matter):
+13.36 Wins: Jokic
+12.63: Luka
+12.49: Giannis
+11.69: SGA
+10.42: AD
And I bet his impact metrics would be even better if the team was relatively healthier.
Jokic is my guy but it’s hilarious to me that after 3 years of his fans hollering about EPM to anyone who didn’t believe he was the best player in the world, it’s disappeared from their MVP arguments now that he’s not 1st in it.
Advanced Stats have gotten pretty good in basketball, but it’s hilarious seeing how people use them.
(Yes I will be pushing Luka agendas with advanced stats now that they paint him as a Top2/3 player)
Really sucks that Jokic had the edge. But give it another year and Luka will hopefully take everything
