Well that’s settled it, shut the tread down!
Sorry stifling discussion wasnt the point of sharing that. Had the same thought as the OP if EC really was by far the best player for the Warriors in 25, and as you can see the cards at the bottom help support that he was miles ahead of anyone. There is no bias in any of that and its all dynamically generated.

The other reason was that its a cool way of looking at prior seasons as we trundle along. Every stat is collected from 2025 onwards.

Had me thinking yesterday, Dylan Walker was released early in the season. He was a key member of the team and how we played. Had the contract to support it too. Its a testament to Erin Clark how he has filled the role that there hasnt been no/minimal noise of us missing Dylan Walker.

Tough call but I gotta go RTS, I just think his impact is as a winger is so under rated.... we have people here rightfully saying we don't have great stocks in our wing department and a lack of speed.

But RTS is an elite winger and has been fantastic....because of this year, I think everyone will be remembering his comeback to the Warriors with fondness and as a success.
