Career résumé: Season 2 regular-season record with Skill Gap Society; playoff SF games with GTG.

Xxmoneycashxx averaged 9.6 points and 3.6 steals in five regular-season SF games, then exploded offensively in two playoff games for GTG at 27.0 points and 4.5 assists on 70% FG. He scored 32 with eight assists in Game 1 against Prolific and 22 in Game 2.

This is also the clearest example of why steals are not treated as automatic defense. KJM shot 17-for-19 across two regular-season meetings and TBuc scored 32. In the playoffs, Riot Shabang scored 35 with 12 assists and then 22 with six. MoneyCash created turnovers and produced major offense, but the opposing lead guards still controlled too much of the game.

Why not higher: The 47.4% regular-season shooting, 1-4 record and volatile matchup results prevent the steal rate from carrying him.

Why not lower: His playoff offensive ceiling and turnover creation are far greater than those of the remaining candidates.
