re: Darius garland or Trae young

Garland's USG% is 26%
Young's USG% is 33%
Just to point out a comparison to Ingram's NOLA tenure: 29%
Young being able to put up "27/10" is nice and all, but his usage rate goes up and his efficiency goes down in shooting. His ability to facilitate is VERY good, just not elite like Haliburton is. Better than Garland's
Garland is a tier 2 to tier 3 player, which is good enough for the cost, and additional things you can get out of him.
Young is a tier 2 player, who has a ceiling of a tier 1 player.
I just really worry defensively in the playoffs. You can't hide him against good teams.

Some folks say he refuses less usage, but I'm not sure the facts agree. The previous 4 seasons before this one, Trae's usage rate was 33.7 with his lowest usage at 32.6. But this season, with Murray to share duties with, his usage dropped to 30.5, which is not outlandish. That's 12th best in the league. THat's the same usage that BI had for all of last season, it's fine. But the thought is if he can his usage by 10% like he did playing with Murray, why can't he drop it another 10% playing with an even more dominant dude like Zion?
