Breakdown Nicolas Claxton

    Overview

  • Experts don't even rank him among C's. Either he is injured or is just plain bad. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 14th with 2201 total points (31.00 avg).
  • He is currently 2475 points behind the leader: Nikola Jokic
  • His average points in the past two weeks have dipped quite a bit at 31.

    • Performance Stats

  • Shooting 64.10% from the field this month. Very impressive for a big man.
  • Assists per game numbers are alright for a center but nothing to brag about at 1.86 apg.
  • Rebounds per game numbers are good for a center / power forward with 9.14 rpg this month.

    • Bonus Qualities

  • Played in 13 less games this year than last year.
  • At this point in the season his numbers compared to last years: PPG: +0.16, APG: +0.33, RPG: +1.48, MPG: +2.02 STLS: --0.05 BLKS: --0.23
Breakdown Jalen Smith

    Overview

  • Experts rank this player at 19th among PF's. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 40th with 1175 total points (18.65 avg).
  • He is currently 2757 points behind the leader: Giannis Antetokounmpo
  • He should be doing much better than this. You might be able to get him now for a discount.
  • His average points in the past two weeks have dipped quite a bit at 14.2.

    • Performance Stats

  • Shooting 50.98% from the field this month.
  • Shooting 28.57% from beyond the arc this month. I'd love to play against him in a game of 'HORSE'.
  • Assists per game numbers are 0.67 apg this month.
  • Rebounds per game numbers are bad for a center / power forward at 3.83 rpg this month.

    • Bonus Qualities

  • Played in 18 less games this year than last year.
  • At this point in the season his numbers compared to last years: PPG: +1.83, APG: +0.21, RPG: +0.76, MPG: +1.43 STLS: +0.01 BLKS: --0.12
