Are we ranking his abilities and god given talent as a player? If so then he's gonna struggle against a lot of all star caliber players.

Or are we talking about his impact on the game? In that case he's top 20-25 in the league.

NO NEED FOR MENTAL GYMNASTICS...

THE POLL IS SELF EXPLANATORY.

Kyrie isn't better than Draymond. Maybe if he played both sides of the ball.

If I'm building a team It would be Kyrie

In a vacuum It would be Kyrie

Unfortunately because it's a team sport it gets complicated. Because Draymond does all the ancillary things at a higher level than most players

It's like those Shawn Marion vs Melo debates back in day when Marion was putting up 22/11/2 and guarded 4 positions on the Suns....people swore he was a better player than Melo

kyrie is a great scorer who saved lebron's legacy. but guys who do nothing but score are a dime a dozen in this league. you could replace kyrie with melo for example, and nothing would change. the cavs would still have won the ship last year. perhaps they would be even better because of melo's experience.

draymond, on the other hand, is irreplaceable. he's had to be the leader of that gs team because steph, klay, and now kd are laid back guys who lack that killer instinct. not to mention he's the best defensive player in the league and a decent offensive threat who is capable of going off for 30+. put anyone else on gs in draymond's place and they wouldn't be nearly as good.

not saying draymond is better... because he wouldn't have the kind of impact he has now on any other team. just that it doesn't make sense to compare players without considering the context in which they play.
