Comparing Aron Baynes and Monta Ellis Head to Head

This is as close as it gets. Aron Baynes and Monta Ellis split the statistical categories evenly — 4 apiece — making this one of the most genuinely contested G comparisons in NBA history. When the numbers are this balanced, the debate comes down to which statistics matter most to you.

Monta Ellis's Steals Per Game of 1.7 compared to Aron Baynes's 0.2 represents a 750% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Monta Ellis's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Three Point %, where Aron Baynes posts 30.8% against Monta Ellis's 31.4% — a gap of just 1.9%. Monta Ellis can point to this as evidence that the overall comparison is closer than the final 4-4 tally suggests. In any debate, Three Point % is the statistical ammunition for the Monta Ellis side.

In NBA history, backcourt players are judged on their ability to create offense for themselves and teammates alike. Points per game captures scoring but assists and efficiency metrics reveal the complete offensive picture.

With categories split evenly, this comparison ultimately comes down to which statistics matter most to you. Monta Ellis claims the tiebreaker through Steals Per Game advantage — a 750% edge — but reasonable people can, and do, argue both sides of this NBA debate.
