We are now about 17% through the season. Most players have played at least double-digit games. We are now starting to get a picture of what players are emerging. Luka Doncic statistically is distinguishing himself at this point in the season averaging a league leading 34.3ppg while leading in PER , VORP, and RPM by a significant margin.
Biggest Surprise: Alperen ?eng?n or Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Sengun appears to have taken the next step toward being a quality player. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander seems to have taken a step toward stardom.
Head Scratcher: Anthony Edwards is averaging 20.9ppg, 5.6rpg, 3.7apg, 1.1spg but you don’t see many players putting up that kind of counting stats and a 13.1 PER. His True Shooting is even a respectable .546 True Shooting %. It’s not just PER that is below water, VORP, BPM, and his net rating are all negative.
