Breakdown LeBron James

    Overview

  • Experts rank this player at 4th among SF's. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 1st with 3437 total points (47.08 avg).
  • He is putting up slightly better numbers than the experts expected him to.
  • His average points in the past two weeks have increased by 9.7 PPG. That is great, but how long can he perform at this level? If you don't have the confidence he can keep it up, then trade him for a sure thing.

    • Performance Stats

  • Shooting 57.21% from the field this month. Very impressive.
  • Shooting 44.90% from beyond the arc this month. Pretty damn good.
  • Assists per game numbers are great for a small forward with 8.36 apg this month.
  • Rebounds per game numbers are great for a small forward with 6.93 rpg this month.

    • Bonus Qualities

  • Played in 12 less games this year than last year.
  • At this point in the season his numbers compared to last years: PPG: +5.95, APG: +3.58, RPG: +1.47, MPG: +10.61 STLS: +0.65 BLKS: +0.09
Breakdown Karl-Anthony Towns

    Overview

  • Experts rank this player at 12th among PF's. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 9th with 2259 total points (35.86 avg).
  • He is currently 1673 points behind the leader: Giannis Antetokounmpo
  • He is putting up slightly better numbers than the experts expected him to.
  • His average points in the past two weeks have dipped quite a bit at 11.6.

    • Performance Stats

  • Shooting 42.86% from the field this month. Not very good for a big man.
  • Shooting 25.00% from beyond the arc this month. I'd love to play against him in a game of 'HORSE'.
  • Assists per game numbers are 1.15 apg this month.
  • Rebounds per game numbers are bad for a center / power forward at 2.00 rpg this month.

    • Bonus Qualities

  • Played in 23 less games this year than last year.
  • At this point in the season his numbers compared to last years: PPG: +13.78, APG: +1.38, RPG: +4.98, MPG: +19.3 STLS: +0.48 BLKS: +0.38
