Shoutout to David Nwaba #28 among PGs

Lol De’Aaron Fox

Cavs are at the bottom of every category though.

TT, JR, Wade, Rose are terrible.

This stat is iffy to me. But I guess there's s place for it.

You can still see a trend. No one is going to argue otherwise if you said Lopez and Randle are our two best players right now.

Clarkson higher than Lonzo but both are higher than D'lo...

Zo's DRPM is ranked 9th among PGs. So much for the narrative that he'll be a defensive liability. When he puts on some muscle he'll be even better.

Jayson Tatum 9th amongst SFs. Impressive for the rookie. Too bad he wears green so i can't root for him.

Brandon Ingram improvement while small is a welcomed sight.
