You showed a lot of stats.
Only stats really "close" are PPG, APG, and FT%... so of the 8 stats you showed, you're 3/8.
Again, my point is what you have continued to prove: superficially, surface looks, because each is a tall PG with passing flair, most see some result-based stats and see a comparison.
But their styles are not similar. Kidd was inefficient in the half court. It got worse in the NBA, but it went back to to Cal as well. Look at those shooting percentages.
Kidd pushed passes into offense because if he wasn't getting into the Lane, Kidd wasn't nearly the player offensively. Ball can shoot, Ball can pull up off the dribble, and Ball also doesn't mind giving up the Ball ala hockey assist. Kidd and his type of PG were mostly ball-dominant.
Getting to Defense, Ball struggles to stay in front of quicker players. Look at the first Arizona game for proof. Simmons is an elite level athlete with almost no skill, as evidenced by his recent MPG with Trier back. Simmonds touched Ball for 20-5-4.
That's one game. Now, it's not a full indictment on Ball. He's lanky and has spurts of intensity that rivals the drive Kidd played with constantly on defense, but mostly Ball lags off and plays the passing lanes, using length. Kidd was a bulldog on-ball defender who also used length for steals, but forced many off the bounce, not just off the pass.
Quoting drug addled Walton and East Coast Bias Bilas as proof of your claim is silly.
They share commonalities in they excel in transition, and look to facilitate off the pass. But they aren't even the same type of passes, and they are radically different offensive and defensive players.
I was wrong for calling you an idiot. But stats aren't a smart play.
