Arvydas Sabonis or De'Aaron Fox? The NBA Stat Breakdown

This is as close as it gets. Arvydas Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox split the statistical categories evenly — 4 apiece — making this one of the most genuinely contested C comparisons in NBA history. When the numbers are this balanced, the debate comes down to which statistics matter most to you.

De'Aaron Fox's Assists Per Game of 6.1 compared to Arvydas Sabonis's 2.1 represents a 190.5% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. Both players exceed the C career average of 1.8 in this category, but De'Aaron Fox leads by 190.5%. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for De'Aaron Fox's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is Three Point %, where Arvydas Sabonis posts 32.8% against De'Aaron Fox's 33.1% — virtually identical figures. De'Aaron Fox 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 De'Aaron Fox side.

Centers have evolved dramatically across NBA eras — from dominant low-post scorers to modern stretch bigs. Career statistics must be evaluated with positional evolution and era context in mind.

With categories split evenly, this comparison ultimately comes down to which statistics matter most to you. De'Aaron Fox claims the tiebreaker through Assists Per Game advantage — a 190.5% edge — but reasonable people can, and do, argue both sides of this NBA debate.
