If record matters, green is clearly in. Even without it, he's going to be the DPOY. Hard to keep him off the all-NBA teams. I think Hayward would get the edge over George this year, so Butler vs Hayward is the big question.

Traditional counting stats (per 36) slightly favor butler, 23.3/6.0/5.4 to 22.9/5.6/3.6. Hayward was more efficient as a shooter .471/.398/.844 to .455/.367/.865. Butler did get to the line more frequently 8.7 attempts to 6.1. True shooting % still favors hayward .595 to .586. Defense is hard to quantify, but butler wins the counting stats 1.8 steals to 1.0. He also has a reputation of being better, but who knows if he really is.

Advanced stats are where butler pulls away. He leads in PER 25.1 to 22.2. He leads in offensive win shares, 10.1 to 7.1, defensive win shares, 3.8 to 3.3, and box plus minus, 6.9 to 4.2.

So Hayward was more efficient as a shooter, but butler was better everywhere else. Is the jazz better record enough to make up that difference?
