Capela is the better rebounder and the better player, I just don't think they are as far apart as advertised.Are you using the 20-21 stats or career numbers? If 20-21, they had a difference of 1 mpg played between them, so no reason to really look at per36. If career, it speaks volumes that Capela has been able to do it for a much longer period of time. In that 20-21 season Cap was also 1.1 blocks more/game and 6 rpg (say what you will about counting stats, that significant of a difference can’t be explained away). On top of being a much better defender.
I’ll take the oreb putbacks in lieu of the push shot, that is much more demoralizing to the other team in a game (kinda like Looney and Zubac have been against us in the playoffs).
Yes, the FT% disparity is significant (the only stat between the two where it actually favors Holmes) and is the reason he can only be played in spot minutes at the end of games. We have Maxi and GWill (and probably at some point OMax) to get us to the finish line after Cap has set the team up to win.
