Unselfishness along with defensive impact is going to break a lot of ties.

Caris LeVert is an exceptional human being, just one of the most high-character people I've met in this league in 38 years or however long it's been.

Unselfishness and defense are our two biggest things. That's our starting point. If you have those two things as foundational building blocks, as long as you have enough offensive talent, other things will fall into line.
