Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 2857954, member: 289"] This year I will again be computing the top 25 NBA players in terms of total “Net Points”, (points + rebounds + assists + steals + blocks – missed field goals – missed free throws- turnovers –fouls committed) and breaking down their stats per 48 minutes, (since that’s the length of an NBA game). I’ll also compute their “Offensive Efficiency”, (points minus missed field goals and free throws), and “Floor Game” (Net Points minus Offensive Efficiency). The players are ranked by total Net Points because a player with a superior rate who missed games had no impact on those games. A player with a less productive rate who played in those games did have an impact on them. I’ll also keep track of how former Syracuse players are doing. I’ll update them each month. Glossary: TNP = Total net Points, M = minutes per game, Per 48 minutes: P = points, R = rebounds A= assists, S = steals, B = blocks, MFG = missed field goals, MFT = missed free throws, TO = turnovers, PF = personal fouls, NP = Net Points, OE = Offensive Efficiency, FG = Floor Game After December Anthony Davis NO 1120TNP 37.1M 36.9P 16.7R 5.8A 2.2S 3.4B 13.0MFG 2.2MFT 2.7TO 3.3PF 43.8NP 21.7OE 22.1FG Kevin Durant GS 1062TNP 35.9M 38.3P 10.3R 8.3A 1.2S 1.4B 12.9MFG 0.8MFT 4.6TO 2.6PF 38.6NP 24.6OE 14.0FG Giannis Antetokounmpo MIL 1019TNP 33.9M 37.7P 18.1R 8.6A 1.9S 2.2B 10.0MFG 3.9MFT 6.1TO 4.8PF 43.7NP 23.8OE 19.9FG Joel Embiid PHIL 965TNP 33.8M 37.6P 18.9R 5.0A 0.7S 2.6B 13.3MFG 2.7MFT 4.9TO 4.7PF 37.6NP 21.6OE 17.6FG LeBron James LAL 952TNP 34.6M 37.8P 11.5R 9.9A 1.8S 1.0B 12.9MFG 3.4MFT 4.7TO 2.2PF 38.8NP 21.5OE 17.3FG Nikola Vucevic ORL 893TNP 31.4M 31.4P 18.5R 5.7A 1.5S 1.7B 11.4MFG 0.8MFT 3.2TO 3.1PF 40.3NP 19.2OE 21.1FG James Harden HOU 861TNP 36.8M 43.1P 7.4R 10.7A 2.7S 0.7B 16.0MFG 2.0MFT 7.1TO 4.4PF 35.1NP 25.1OE 10.0FG Rudy Gobert UTAH 852TNP 31.0M 23.3P 19.3R 3.0A 1.3S 3.2B 4.6MFG 3.4MFT 2.3TO 4.2PF 35.6NP 15.3OE 20.3FG Damian Lillard PORT 844TNP 35.3M 36.4P 6.4R 7.8A 1.2S 0.7B 14.4MFG 1.0MFT 3.6TO 2.5PF 31.0NP 21.0OE 10.0FG Karl-Anthony Towns MIN 845TNP 33.7M 30.7P 17.1R 4.1A 1.3S 2.6B 11.4MFG 1.2MFT 4.4TO 5.3PF 33.5NP 18.1OE 15.49FG Paul George OKC 822TNP 35.4M 36.0P 11.3R 5.7A 3.0S 0.9B 14.9MFG 1.3MFT 3.9TO 3.9PF 32.9NP 19.8OE 13.1FG Ben Simmons PHIL 808TNP 33.0M 23.3P 13.4R 11.5A 2.0S 1.1B 6.9MFG 3.1MFT 4.9TO 3.8PF 32.6NP 13.3OE 19.3FG Clint Capela HOU 806TNP 33.7M 24.1P 17.8R 2.1A 0.8S 2.8B 6.1MFG 2.2MFT 2.4TO 4.1PF 32.8NP 15.8OE 17.0FG Deandre Ayton PHOE 798TNP 31.2M 25.7P 16.8R 3.4A 1.2S 1.5B 7.4MFG 0.9MFT 2.8TO 4.3PF 33.2NP 17.4OE 15.8FG DeMar DeRozan SAS 795TNP 35.1M 31.6P 8.0R 8.5A 1.4S 0.7B 13.0MFG 1.4MFT 3.3TO 3.0PF 29.5NP 17.2OE 12.3FG Kemba Walker CHAR 760TNP 34.9M 35.6P 6.0R 8.3A 1.9S 0.7B 15.5MFG 1.4MFT 3.4TO 2.3PF 29.9NP 18.7OE 11.2FG Kawhi Leonard TOR 748TNP 34.8M 36.8P 11.5R 4.0A 2.3S 0.8B 13.5MFG 1.4MFT 2.8TO 2.1PF 35.6NP 21.9OE 13.7FG DeAndre Jordan DAL 743TNP 31.6M 17.2P 21.7R 3.3A 1.1S 1.6B 3.6MFG 1.9MFT 3.5TO 3.7PF 32.2NP 11.7OE 20.5FG Jrue Holiday NO 741TNP 36.8M 27.1P 5.9R 11.3A 2.2S 1.1B 11.8MFG 1.2MFT 4.8TO 3.6PF 26.2NP 14.1OE 12.1FG Kyrie Irving BOS 734TNP 32.5M 34.5P 7.4R 9.7A 2.4S 0.7B 10.2MFG 0.7MFT 3.8TO 3.5PF 36.0NP 23.6OE 12.4FG Andre Drummond DET 734TNP 32.9M 25.3P 22.2R 1.8A 2.1S 2.8B 10.4MFG 3.6MFT 3.6TO 5.1PF 31.5NP 11.3OE 20.2FS Tobias Harris LAC 732TNP 34.4M 29.3P 11.4R 3.1A 0.9S 0.5B 10.8MFG 0.6MFT 2.7TO 2.8PF 28.3NP 17.9OE 10.4FG LeMarcus Aldridge SA 727TNP 32.4M 28.9P 13.4R 3.2A 0.8S 1.7B 11.9MFG 1.2MFT 2.6TO 3.1PF 29.2NP 15.8OE 13.4FG Russell Westbrook OKC 721TNP 34.8M 29.1P 15.1R 13.9A 3.6S 0.4B 15.9MFG 2.9MFT 6.5TO 4.8PF 32.0NP 10.3OE 21.7FG Blake Griffin DET 709TNP 35.8M 33.1P 11.6R 6.9A 0.9S 0.7B 12.7MFG 2.8MFT 5.2TO 3.7PF 28.8NP 17.6OE 11.2FG FORMER SU PLAYERS Jerami Grant OKC 523TNP 31.0M 19.2P 7.4R 1.4A 1.4S 2.0B 2.3MFG 1.4MFT 1.4TO 3.8PF 22.5NP 15.5OE 7.0FG Carmelo Anthony (was playing for Houston) 85TNP 29.4M 21.9P 8.8R 0.8A 0.7S 1.1B 11.8MFG 1.1MFT 1.3TO 5.2PF 13.9NP 9.0OE 4.9FG Wesley Johnson NO 71TNP 15.4M 11.7P 7.0R 2.1A 1.3S 0.9B 6.4MFG 0.1MFT 1.6TO 5.7PF 9.2NP 5.2OE 4.0FG Michael Carter-Williams HOU 31TNP 9.1M 22.8P 4.3R 7.0A 3.0S 2.0B 11.9MFG 4.6MFT 3.3TO 8.9PF 10.4NP 6.3OE 4.1FG Tyler Lydon DEN 20TNP 3.7M 18.7P 10.5R 2.3A 1.2S 1.2B 2.3MFG 1.2MFT 1.2TO 4.7PF 24.5NP 15.2OE 9.3FG Malachi Richardson TOR -2TNP 5.7M 13.6P 6.6R 0.0A 0.5S 0.0B 9.1MFG 0.5MFT 4.0TO 6.6PF 5.0NP 4.0OE 1.0FG (Dion Waiters was still out.) Comments: Davis, Durant and Antetokounmpo continue to vie for the crown LeBron James may be giving up in the near future a s the game’s best player. But suddenly Joel Embiid seems to be crowding them a bit. Whoever expected that? James Harden is starting to move back up the charts, (from 23rd after November to 12th after December). Russell Westbrook has missed some games and his scoring is down or he’d be higher in the ranking. As usual, there isn’t an SU player within shouting distance of the Top 25 and none on a team likely to make the finals. We’ve had 36 former SU football players play in the Super Bowl and 3 former SU basketball players play in the NBA finals- Billy Gabor in the early 50’s, our former police chief, Dennis DuVal for 5 minutes in 1975 and Marty Byrnes for 1 minute in 1980. No SU player that’s every played for us in the Dome Era has ever made the NBA finals, despite our consistent team success. . [/QUOTE]
