I was looking at some of his stats compared to GPII. In my mind, GP dominated the games much more than GP II does. From a personality standpoint, that's probably true. From a bottom-line view, their pretty similar when it comes to an overall game impact. Consider:
Comparing Sr. year stats (GP II is to date, so not a fair comparison without Pac-12 competition, but still)
Points:
GP: 25.1
GP II: 16.5
+10 points for GP is a big difference. GP was definitely more diverse on his scoring. Still, GP had some big scoring outliers his Sr. year, so the median number wasn't as big as the average would say. Still, GP was clearly a more versatile scorer.
Assists:
GP: 8.1
GPII: 4.9
Again, significant advantage by dad. However, GP dominated the basketball to get to those numbers, where GP II often isn't running the point, and still putting up very nice numbers here.
Steals:
GP: 3.4
GP II: 2.6
GP was a better thief as well, and went about it a little differently. Both very, very good in this department.
Rebounds:
GP:4.0
GP II: 8.1
GPII is a dramatically better rebounder. GP probably had better bigs around him that provided fewer opportunities for GP, but still.
Blocks:
GP: 0.5
GPII: 1.1
Again, a big difference for GPII, similarly to rebounding.
Turnovers:
GP: 3.7
GPII: 2.6
GP had a much better Assist/TO ratio, but at the expense of more TOs in general.
FG%, 3PT FG%
GP: .504, .333
GPII:.545, 400
GPII's numbers are better, and up significantly from last year when he had to force the issue more. Still, GP II has become a significantly better outside shooter.
FT%
GP: .690
GPII: .663
Surprisingly, their both quite mediocre when it comes to FTs.
Will be interesting where GP II ends up when Pac 12 games have been played - the comparison may not look quite as strong.
