Breakdown Scottie Barnes

    Overview

  • Experts don't even rank him among SF's. Either he is injured or is just plain bad. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 2nd with 1655 total points (33.78 avg).
  • He is currently 417 points behind the leader: LeBron James

    • Performance Stats

  • Shooting 48.17% from the field this month. Very impressive.

Breakdown Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

    Overview

  • Experts don't even rank him among PG's. Either he is injured or is just plain bad. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 12th with 1561 total points (47.30 avg).
  • He is currently 1007 points behind the leader: Luka Doncic
  • His average points in the past two weeks have increased by 4.1 PPG. If you don't have the confidence he can keep it up, then trade him for a sure thing.

    • Performance Stats

  • Shooting 52.00% from the field this month. Very impressive.
  • Shooting 37.50% from beyond the arc this month. Not horrible, but not too good either.

  • Decent numbers for a point guard with 5.29 apg this month.
  • Rebounds per game numbers are pretty good for a guard with 4.79 rpg this month.
  • Piles up the points and is ranked in the top 5 in scoring.

    • Bonus Qualities
