My pick is Anthony Edwards. He's great, but people talking about MVP potential need to slow it down.

Mind altering cope. The literal only things a basketball player can do on a court that Booker was better than Tatum at last season was passing and dribbling, and only marginally better in those. Outside of that, Tatum completely blows him away. Purely in scoring, Tatum scored 2.3 ppg more on .6% better TS without playing next to one of the greatest pure point guards ever setting his table. Tatum pulled down double his rebounds a game. It only gets worse if you look to advanced or defensive stats. Tatum nearly doubled him up in all 3 of WS, WS/48, and VORP. DBPM puts Booker at -.6 and Tatum at .7 and DWS puts Booker at 1.9 to Tatum's 4.3. There isn't a single compelling argument for Booker over Tatum, there's barely even an argument at all. You can't point to stats, advanced stats, or team success.
