Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 1996475, member: 1026"] With Thomas on court Celt's offense is recently scoring 117.5/100 possessions, not sure what they give up, but simply put Thomas is putting the team on his back offensively. Conley might be a more complete player, but he's never done what Isaiah is doing right now on offense - scoring or assists. Granted it was a home game and he had a better supporting cast, but very clear Isaiah was the star last night v Kemba, and I was rooting for Kemba to outshine but lose. See article from Mass Live. Doesn't mention what the defensive splits are. FWIW Isaiah did play good D on Kemba in 4th Q last night, I think when he's got a guy similar size he's not terrible. Problem with putting Isaiah in top 10 is it could be a hot streak and there is no one until 20+ that you'd say Isaiah is better than or would trade straight-up for Isaiah (otherwise Ainge would), even with Isaiah's puny salary. LeBron, Durant, Harden, Westbrook, Curry, ADavis, Giannis, Love, Irving, CPaul, BGriffin, KLeonard, DLillard, Lowry, DeRozan, Cousins, Draymond, KThompson, MGasol & Paul George rounds out my 20 more valuable. And lots of guys on upside swing like Porzingis, Embid, Towns etc.. that most would also place above.
