Today I'll take a look at the top twenty scorers on a per game basis. This list includes some of the best known scorers - and some surprises. To make this list a player had to play in over twenty games, which unfortunately disqualified Brook Lopez, who until his injury was playing at a very high level. Anyways, enjoy:
Just a little analysis:
* To back up the West's dominance so far this season, 19 of the top 25 are from the West. In addition, the top five point guards, the top five shooting guards, the top five power forwards, and four of the top five centers are from the West. * Going by rankings, small forwards have been the best so far this season, as the top five small forwards have an average rank of 10.8. Then come power forwards with 11.2, then point guards with 11.4, then centers with 13.4, and in last shooting guards with18.8. * Going by PAA, small forwards have been the best so far this season, as the top five average 162.8 PAA. Then come point guards with 155.1, then power forwards with 139.6, then centers with 129.6, and in last shooting guards with 118.1 * Going by these rankings, the starting lineups for the East and the West for the All-Star game (assuming two guards and three forwards/centers) should be, as of now: East: Kyle Korver, Dwayne Wade, LeBron James, Paul George, and Andre Drummond. West: Stephen Curry, Chris Paul, Kevin Durant, Dirk Nowitzki, and Kevin Love. * The All-NBA teams (going by two guards, two forwards, and one center) would look like this: First Team: Stephen Curry, Chris Paul, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Andre Drummond Second Team: Ty Lawson, James Harden, Paul George, Dirk Nowitzki, Robin Lopez Third Team: Isaiah Thomas, Wes Matthews, Kevin Love, LaMarcus Aldridge, Dwight Howard * The top five rookies are: Victor Oladipo (52 PAA), Stephen Adams (46 PAA), Michael Carter-Williams (36 PAA), Giannis Antetokounmpo (35 PAA), Miroslav Radujica (32 PAA). * Now... who have been the worst players this season? Remember - this doesn't mean they are the worst skilled players, just that they've cost their team the most points. John Lucas III (-47 PAA), Jeff Taylor(-44 PAA), Jarryd Bayless (-43 PAA), Marquis Teague (-34 PAA), and Corey Brewer (-34 PAA). |
