What's sad is he didn't get an All Star selection for the kind of year he's having.

Damn, I'm surprised Hakeem or Kirilenko never did this ish.

Players who've averaged 15ppg, 1.5 3PM, 1.5 blocks

Rasheed Wallace 05-06
Andrea Bargnani 09-10

Nobody has done it with 17ppg+. Only Wallace/Horry/Donyell have 1.5 3 pointers and blocks.

I thought for sure Kirilenko would be one of the 4.

Josh Smith is underrated.

Last year he was taking too many jumpers, this year he improved his decision making and yet barely gets credit for it..

Dude's a headcase, can't even decide which part of the game he wants to excel in. No wonder coaches didn't select him for the ASG.

AK-47 did it a few years ago, and in more impressive fashion:

Year Team G GS MPG FG% 3P% FT% OFF DEF RPG APG SPG BPG TO PF PPG

05-06 UTA 69 63 37.7 0.460 0.308 0.699 2.3 5.7 8.0 4.3 1.5 3.2 2.94 2.35 15.3

Yeah AK did it, he just never played 75 games

BarneyGumble · Post #12 » by **BarneyGumble** » Wed Feb 24, 2010 9:49 pm

I guess AK didnt make the 75 games played cut, but its impressive nonetheless...

He did in 05-06

15.3 pts, 8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 3.2 blocks, 1.5 steals

The only reason he wasn't included was because he played in 69 games, and OP said at least 75 games.... Pretty lame.

At his peak, Kirilenko was a top 10 player in the league. Its sad how much he declined, but his recent mini-surge is what is propelling the Jazz on their hot streak right now...

What makes his season more impressive? If you want to get technical Josh has more points, rebounds, steals, and less turnovers. AK had more blocks and assists.

Cherry picked stats like these are just stupid. Josh Smith is having a good, borderline all star season, that is all. He's not even close to being one of the best PFs in the league.

3 blocks a game from the SF position is nuts

that alone makes it more impressive

He has never been a top 10 player. Unless you're talking about fantasy basketball.

This

There are 1000's of these types of stats.

Like saying someone is only person average 12ppg, 2rebs, 8asts while shooting 97% from the free thow line. Who cares? Also the fact that you have to play in more than 75 games amuses me since Josh Smith hasn't played in 75 games this year.
