a) with all the respect, but advanced defensive all in one stats are crap. Nurk is supposed to be 11th best defender in the league according to RAPM.
b) we are speaking about totally different players. Capella can switch onto smaller players, at least he could in his Houston days. No way Nurkic can do that, never could.
Wait, are you proposing we get in a time machine, go back to 2018, and trade for Capela? Why does it matter what he did in HOU and how that compares to Nurk's career best? I mean, if you're Jesus you can resurrect Wilt and that'll beat Capela's career best.
Listen, at some point you have to focus on getting it right, not being right.
