RPG

1. Plumlee (Golden State) 11.3
2. Antetokounmpo (Golden State) 11.0

Not going to lie. I'm very happy to see Plumlee leave the East.

HS turned 1 piece into 3 and got some needed depth but I think sim Plumlee is very underrated. Tried to get him from Fat earlier but HS beat me to him.

He was definitely a top priority. He destroyed us in the IST finals and has been a sim beast all along. Despite him not having bird rights, I do think he moves the needle which warranted my heavy pursuit. Woke up yesterday to no deal, but I told HS I’d turn every stone and pull all my resources in order to get him in GS by the end of the night. Thankfully a third team surfaced and we all got what we wanted.

KAT is finally starting to wake up, and I see some balance in my rotation with OG and KCP holding down the wings, and Isiah Joe/NTC Kennard providing offense. Hopefully we can see some consistency now.

Lakers have my number this year. Get a good look at my new team vs Toronto tomorrow. The hot start seems to be fading though.

I never expected this type of start for Scoot but I LOVE the character that he has shown and the determination
that he has displayed. Very nice game yesterday all things considered against one of the best teams...

Continued for those that are curious...

The never-dull rookie season for Trail Blazers’ Scoot Henderson saw him post some big numbers while still struggling with consistency during his last 14 games.

Henderson had a few outings with double-digit assists, set his personal scoring record and then broke it, got hot from three-point range and then cooled off and reduced his personal fouls while struggling on defense.

Also, he became a starter again only to return to a reserve role.

Here is a look at Henderson’s statistical output over the last 14 games:


Games: 14 (Dec. 26 through Jan. 21)

Minutes: Henderson’s minutes saw a slight increase to 29.0 per game from 27.3 during the previous check, which spanned nine games.

Scoring: Henderson scored 13.6 points per game to reach 12.2 on the season. He averaged 12.6 during the previous check period.

On Dec. 28, Henderson scored a then-career-best 25 points during a home loss to San Antonio. He came back the next night with 22 points and 11 assists in a win over the Spurs.

On Jan. 14, Henderson reset his career high with 33 points during a home loss to the Phoenix Suns.

Shooting: Henderson’s shooting from the field dropped from 39% during the previous check to 36.1%.

On the night Henderson scored 33 points, he shot just 11 of 31 from the field but did hit on 4 of 9 threes.

That helped his three-point shooting jump to 34.5% from 29% during the previous check. He is now at 29.2% for the season.

Remove his 1 of 9 three-point shooting performance the night at Oklahoma City when everyone shot poorly during a 62-point loss and Henderson shot threes at a 38.5% rate.

That’s progress.

Assists/turnovers: Henderson averaged 5.6 assists, his best stretch of the season, and is now averaging 4.7 per game.


This latest stretch included Henderson setting his career high with 11 assists twice. He also had 10 in one game and nine in another.

The turnover issues continued. He averaged 3.6 and is now at 3.3 per game.

Rebounding: Henderson boosted his season rebounding average up to 3.0 by grabbing 3.5 per game.

Steals/blocks: Henderson averaged 0.6 steals and 0.2 blocked shots per game. Both numbers were down by .1 in comparison to the previous check.

Defensive/offensive ratings: Henderson’s defensive play during the last check sent his defensive rating up to 111.9 from 103.4.

His defensive rating of 128.2 during this last stretch bumped him up to 119.3 on the season.

Granted, the entire team’s defensive rating shot up after the Blazers lost six of seven road games by an average of 33.2 points per contest.


On the bright side, Henderson committed just 2.3 personal fouls per game to drop his season average from 4.2 to 3.2.

Henderson’s offensive rating during the last 14 games was 104.8, which dropped his season rating from 106.9 to 106.0.

Assessment: Henderson got a chance to return to the starting lineup because of injuries but didn’t do enough to hold on to the spot.

Blazers coach Chauncey Billups has removed Henderson and rookie small forward Toumani Camara from the starting lineup with the hope that a more experienced group would lead to fewer slow starts.

This move will reduce Henderson’s minutes but also allow him to play with less pressure and continue developing at a more optimal pace.
