Raptor WAR Share Leader rank: Booker, (41%-65th of 90)
We end with the ‘21 Suns. Book leads the way with 27/6/5 on 45/32/91 splits (slightly below average efficiency). He has a strong 10.5 On-Off. His best series comes against the Lakers in R1 where he goes for 30/6/5 on great splits (49/42/94). His most inefficient series is his West Finals vs the Clippers, a yikes 42% eFG.
Crowder comes in 2nd here surprisingly, mainly behind the team’s best On-Off swing ( 11) thanks to a strong 3&D effort from him. He goes for 11/6/2 on above average efficiency including 38% from 3 on over 6 attempts per game. Ayton comes in 3rd going for a hyper efficient 16/12 on 66% fg, 118 ts but he ranks lower due to a negative On-Off (-2.4).
Now you may be asking why no Chris Paul. He gets hurt and plays 200 fewer minutes than Booker. If he were healthy he would’ve placed ahead of Ayton. CP leads the team in VORP and averages 19/4/9 on just above average efficiency though he also has a negative On-Off.
