except Joe Johnson puts up his numbers on a bad team by being about average efficiency wise, while Manu puts up his numbers on a good team and being very eficient. Since he got to ATL, JJ's TS% has been 53.7, 55.8, and 53.5. Manu's the past 4 years has been 60.9, 59.3, 60.9, and 61.2.
Manu is better in nearly every advanced stat. Rebound %, assist %, steal %(way way ahead here), block %, PER, etc. Its not very close.
