BRP is more individually talented but Kiefer is more useful imo.
Both players are in their first seasons in a foreign league so this should be mostly fair.
Scoring:
BRP(28 games played): 22.9 mpg makes 11.2 points on 47.7% shooting, 37.9% from deep
Kiefer(31 games played): 25.6 mpg makes 12.9 points on 41.6% shooting, 34.5% from deep
BRP is objectively a better scorer than Kiefer, the guy has a way higher ceiling when it comes to scoring if we take into account his shooting percentage for the minutes he gets.
Playmaking though(Parks is listed as an SG so this should be fine I think):
BRP: 1.9 apg, 1.2 tov, 1.64 a/t ratio
Kiefer: 5.7 apg, 2.1 tov, 2.68 a/t ratio
Kiefer is definitely the central cog in your system, even without statlines you can see how Shiga's coach needs him badly to make their offense at least functional, explains why he has a longer playing time than Parks. Which one is "better" is kinda subjective but imo controversies with his PBA team aside, Kiefer looks to be a player that is harder to skip on if you're a team scouting for talents.

Kiefer compared to Togashi, a fellow high usage point guard:
Togashi(27 games played): 25.2 mpg makes 13.1 points on 40.5% shooting 32.3% from deep, 6.2 apg, 2.65 a/t ratio
Slightly more productive in scoring but this dude has been playing in this league for multiple seasons already in a top team, Kiefer's stats are already better than his in his first season in a foreign culture in a completely fresh team for him, Kiefer is really something else man.

kiefer is is more useful right now but i think that's only because he's playing for a worse team. parks, on the other hand, is playing for a good team but has seemingly a smaller role. switch their teams and i would bet parks could replicate, or even have better stats than kiefer.

Scoring wise he would definitely trump Kiefer but is scoring really all you need to give your team Ws? Yeah Kiefer's team is trash but he contributes hell of a lot for what he is given imo.

How the hell are you gonna bring a team like NLEX coached by Yeng Guiao to the finals? Let's not let our expectations get too wild here. A team consisting of Cyrus Baguiao and JR Quinahan coached by Yeng won't even win bronze in the smokey mountains, also imagine how toxic the culture around that team actually is, probably why Kiefer wants to run tf away even if it means potential lawsuits.

Better in this case would mean which one is the most important cog for Gilas.
Both have made their case to be a shoo-in for any future Gilas tournament.
Sucks both of them have soured their relations with the PBA.

SMB's bench players are better than their starers.. I don't see them going to the finals with or without Kiefer. SMC teams are stacked

Even AAU ball isn't that greedy when the 36ers froze Kai out in the 4th. Are they mad that he's the center of their marketing strategy? Probably some envy going on. But they shouldn't take it out on a kid.
This was already happening in small doses, only Mitch McCaron is actively looking for Kai when they're playing together, and Dusty Hannahs only passed Kai the ball that one time because he was in danger of committing a turnover. Avid basketball fans aren't blind, they notice stuff.
I'm confident that scouts notice this stuff, so if Kai is reading this (highly doubt it), don't feel down. I won't tell you not to feel things, but keep everything in control at least until after the game. Though at the very least you didn't throw a tantrum on the court.

It was actually the minutes Kai played in the 4th quarter , that Kai and 36ers outscored SEM the most. Widened the lead.
In the other quarters Kai played today he was minus..negative.
So really in the eyes of CJ who's goal.is to win, and for Kai to contribute. The 4th quarter was Kai's biggest impact to winning. Mission accomplished..

The NBA is again dominated by bigs. Recent MVP ladder shows the importance of great bigs. Really strong teams are hoarding able bigs for their playoff run.
Kai needs to overcome prejudice and jealousy from teammates. A lot of his teammates are having SJ mentality when it comes to passing to Kai. They obviously dont want Kai to take the limelight. The bright side is that even with BS teammates and no passes Kai still makes good account of himself. Sky is really the limit for Kai.

2. Jokic
3. Giannis
4. Tatum
5. Luka

Jokic in a depleted Nuggets team has the best Net rating of the 5, meaning Nuggets play 15 pts better when he is on the court compared to when he is not . Essentially showing he is the one player his team can least afford to play without
Kai on the othehand has a negative net rating with the 36ers, meaning his team plays better when he is not on the court

kai is a very unique player with very high upside. No amount of nitpicking or BS take would change that. The NBA need great bigs and his contemporaries in the NCAA were so lame that even if Kai didnt have a great environment but still he is obviously better than them. If only Kai didnt have insecure teammates, he would easily average atleast 10. Real NBA scouts arent stupid. They know what is happening. Kaya wala kaming pake sa BS take mu analyze wala namang kwenta yan always nitpicking but very lame take. Kai will be there kitakits sa end of the season.

Net rating is a team stat not a player stat. Even the worst scrub will look good net rating-wise on a great team compared to the best player on a scrub team.

Yup all individual stats matter for NBL and US NCAA individual awards . but matter very little in evaluating drafability for the 2022 NBA Draft
