Breakdown Paolo Banchero

    Overview

  • Experts rank this player at 13th among PF's. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 7th with 2111 total points (32.98 avg).
  • He is currently 944 points behind the leader: Julius Randle
  • He is putting up better numbers than the experts expected him to.
  • His average points in the past two weeks have increased by 1.9 PPG.
  • Performance Stats

  • Shooting 45.33% from the field this month. Not very impressive for a big man.
  • Shooting 28.89% from beyond the arc this month. I'd love to play against him in a game of 'HORSE'.

Breakdown Walker Kessler

    Overview

  • Experts rank this player at 10th among C's. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 19th with 1613 total points (24.82 avg).
  • He is currently 1750 points behind the leader: Nikola Jokic
  • He should be doing a bit better than this. Look for him to bounce back.
  • His average points in the past two weeks have increased by 8.2 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 75.38% 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 1.27 apg.
  • Rebounds per game numbers are great for a center / power forward with 11.18 rpg this month.
  • Bonus Qualities

  • Played in 65 more games this year than last year.
  • At this point in the season his numbers compared to last years: PPG: +8.75, APG: +0.86, RPG: +8.43, MPG: +22.49 STLS: +0.37 BLKS: +2.35
