Padding your stats against lousy teams like the Suns is one thing, but being the star player as your team upsets the best teams in the league has to carry much greater weight.
The best two performances of the year came from Kyle Kuzma, who scored 38 in a road win over Houston, and outdueled Kyrie Irving with 17 points in the fourth quarter in a win over Boston.
BTW, in my ratings, Simmons is still #1 overall, while Mitchell was #4.
