Generally speaking, less athletic players appear to be more under-control when compared to superior athletes.

His lack of run/jump ability gives him no choice but to play with "Pace."

"He is more resourceful than Giannis." - Is he a Librarian? What on earth does this even mean?

Resourcefulness relates to his ability to switch up his style of play based on how the defense attacks him. He can drive, dish, run, shoot from deep, controls pace of the game, etc. Giannis has 1 gear and if the defense attacks him and keeps him out of the paint, he doesn’t have that 2nd or 3rd resource.

So you are essentially finding another way to say, "Luka is a more polished/fundamentally sound offensive player?"

Which I have stated 4 times already?

Cool.

Cool.

BUT that’s what drives the NBA now. Luka’s offensive game is enough to put him over the top. Giannis is not a great enough defensive player for that to outweigh Luka’s skill and leadership of the offense.

Cool. We can agree to disagree.

We value different aspects of the player and that is fine.
 
PG was definitely a Clipper fan. Part of the reason I was begging for him instead of Amino's sorry ***!

So you finally admit it doesn't matter much when you are evaluating a player?

Cool.

So you taking Luka now (if you do), makes perfect sense.
NBA players themselves say it
Why is 35 year old LBJ still considered #1 not for his defense
Kawhi didn’t get acknowledged as a top 3 player until he developed an offensive game.

Giannis has to play amazing defense since nobody on that team does.

It doesn't matter what an NBA player says. They aren't getting paid to evaluate talent.

Being able to impact the game on both ends of the floor is a PLUS in my opinion.

Yes, scoring is the most important ISOLATED skill for sure, I have never denied that.

But if I am looking at an entire player, I look at both sides of the ball not just one.
