This concerns who you feel is the most IMPACTFUL player, not necessarily the most skilled. While team success is a way to measure impact, I wouldn’t use that as my main argument, because everyone knows the Kings were horrible. At the same time, please don’t let that cloud your judgment on DMC’s actual impact on winning. I’ll give my answer in the comments.

Using the 2015-2016 season* as DMC’s “peak”, the averages are as follows:

DMC-

65 games, 26.9 PPG/11.5 RPG/3.3 APG on 45/33/72 splits, NBA All-Star and Second Team All-NBA

KAT-

62 games, 21.8 PPG/8.3 RPG/3.0 APG on 50/41/87 splits, NBA All-Star

*IMO his best statistical season, but feel free to argue another season if you’d like.
