I think PER is a pretty awesome stat.

Then there is the subjective eye test. I notice the things Jokic does more than the things Giannis and Embiid do. Jokic's game jumps off of my TV screen in a way that does not happen for me with Giannis and Embiid.

I'm a heretic on this stuff. I go with the eye test more than stats, for a variety of reasons. I think Pete Maravich and the healthy Bill Walton were the two best basketball players I ever saw - not Jordon, though he was still pretty awesome even by my subjective eye test.
