Current: 87
Proposed: 87.5
Jrue made the All-Star team this year, his first since 2013, and averaged his second highest PPG in his career, second highest APG, and highest RPG. Additionally, he increased his FT% from last year by 9% to record his highest FT% ever while continuing his high FG and 3PT percentages (to include taking the most 3s per game he's ever taken).
Season stats:
19.3 PPG
7.4 APG
5.1 RPG
47.9% FG
38.4% 3Pt
85.6% FT
For a little historical perspective, last year he shot 50/41, so his efficiency has been sustained.
If you care about RAPTOR at all, he's the 12th ranked overall player for WAR, tied with Steph. And for overall RAPTOR, he's the 15th ranked player in the league, ahead of Durant, SGA, and other notable players like Paul George.
His defense rating of +2.0 puts him as the #4 guard in the league for defense for players who've played over 2,000 minutes.
The eye-test, advanced metrics, efficiency, and team record all indicate a top league player. If his counting stats were higher, we'd easily be talking a 90+ player, so I think 87-88 is fair to account for his lower counting stats.
