I'm talking about their current level. Over the past year Shao has been Top 5 easily but he hasn't been as good recently (partially due to shifting roles like you pointed out).
Best initiator player just behind Leo and best clutch player.
Fun fact:
Shao at Copenhagen had 21 clutches which is the single highest no. Of clutches by a player at an international even. The next closest is 14(1.5x more for shao)
