KJM was probably the best regular-season PG if you only looked at efficient winning basketball.
His schedule was respectable, his shooting was absurd, and the assist-to-turnover ratio was excellent.
Against the #3 defense he had:
- 14/12 on 6/6
- 31/9 with 1 turnover on 11/13
That is elite.
Then came the playoff loss to #12.
The two supplied playoff games:
- 32/7, 0 turnovers
- 6/10, 0 turnovers on 2/12
The second game is the killer. The zero turnovers are nice, but six points on that efficiency in an upset series is a serious blemish.
Why he is above Riot: KJM’s regular-season peak was clearly better. Better efficiency, better record, stronger signature games.
Why he is below Kari: Kari’s postseason changed the entire season evaluation. KJM’s postseason hurt his.
Why he stays this high: One bad series should not erase a 5-1 regular season where he shot 76/73.
