Kemba Walker vs. Jrue holiday on a win now dynasty league team. Who would you take?
They are so close, I don't know who to choose. On the one hand, I think kemba takes a step back in Boston, but maybe improve on his efficiency. With jrue, I think he is prime for a big year and obviously has the upper hand in defensive stats. And I think his stat set pairs better with my other guard being kyrie Irving. However, the injury concerns scares me. Thoughts??
TIA, Chris
Both guys have been extremely durable the last couple years. Jrue went into tank mode late with the abdomen stuff. They're exactly the same age (separated by about 1 month, amazingly), so that's not a factor, here.
I think I'd go Jrue but that's just because I love defensive stats.
I like defensive stats too haha.
Thanks Dan!!
Wow, this is a razor thin call! It's like that Spiderman vs. Spiderman meme. You can make a strong case for either guy. If I had to choose I would go with Kemba. I just think he will thrive in the Boston system and his efficiency numbers will go up. Jrue gets hurt a lot and shares usage with Lonzo.
I also think this is really close, and you can’t really go wrong with either. I think Kemba’s stats could come down a hair in Boston, while Jrue should see improvement.
In terms of injuries, I would feel more comfortable with Kemba.
Overall, I think I lean toward Jrue for more assists and defensive stats.
I would still go Jrue because of the defensive stats. Both will probably lose volume, gain efficiency and assists. Jrue and Lonzo should be in line for so many assists with Redick, Ingram, Zion and Hayes
Kemba, Kemba, Kemba! 🙂 🙂
