Will be interesting to see if he can keep it up or if it follows the usual pattern of him slowing down or starting to miss games. Sadly he has never been able to play more than 20-25 games in a row at this level.
History does say November/December are KP's months. As soon as Jan/Feb comes around he slows waaaaaaaaaaay down. Knicks fans repeated it all the time throughout his tenure here.
His health troubles just add on top of it. A small part of me misses KP badly. Tall Euro shooters really strikes a chord with me.

Only half joking. He is having a great season in spain. Averaging 18pts/6reb on 54% FG / 47% from 3.

Still insane that we had to include a pick in the KP trade.

There will be some goofy numbers for EPM as well. Stats are very limited in assessing defense and on/off has a ton of noise in it, especially in a small sample.
I paid the few bucks last year and my subscription is still active. Here is overall EMP (which is basically six players deep):
99 Luka
89 SD
81 Wood
72 Powell
71 Green
69 DFS
29 THJ
23 McGee
20 Bullock
7 Maxi
Here are the D-EPM's
96 DFS
80 Green
80 Powell
79 Luka
66 Wood
53 SD
43 McGee
40 Bullock
38 Maxi
19 THJ
Here are the O-EPM's
99 Luka
90 SD
82 Wood
62 Powell
61 Green
41 THJ
33 DFS
19 McGee
16 Bullock
4 Maxi

S Bey is shooting 29% from 3 this year. Him and Josh Green may eventually be pretty comparable talents. Bey has had the benefit of getting a lot of playing time with bad teams. But what does he look like on a good team? 5th starter? Heavy bench player?
Says a lot that both of our guys leading the draft had strong convictions on their players and they both likely missed of bypassing better talent.

Difficult to compare their roles. It seems like the Pistons want Bey to to be a primary creator. And they have given him the freedom to make mistakes. As long as they are tanking that isn´t a problem and it´s not like Bey hasn´t shown a lot of promise. Last season he had stretches where he scored 20+ on solid efficiency in 9-10 games in a row. But it can also lead to the development of bad tendencies. It´s easy to give a player the green light. A lot harder to take it away.
This season his shot has been off. But he added some stuff in the paint and had a lot of success with drives. Getting to the rim and drawing fouls.
56% TS from a player that creates nearly 70% of his 2-point attempts himself is something the Mavs would love to have. But on the other hand. The same can be said about Green´s energy and hustle combined with his super efficient shooting and finishing. Even if he cannot create for himself.
Green taking a step forwards has been huge for the Mavs. Really don´t want to imagine the season with Bullock and THJ playing like they are and last years version of Green.

I don't think Bey is a particularly good defender either. He will always be a better more complete offensive player than Green, but they may not end up being that far off due to the other side.
There were guys behind Green that would have been better (Maxey, Bane) but there were also a lot of busts in front of him. I would guess on a redraft Green is in the top 18 (probably top 15) and the same goes for Bey. You can make the argument that Maxey does not make sense on a team with Brunson, and Bane was skipped over by every team in the league. We could have done worse.

Full strength Nuggets losing to the 3-15 Pistons at home
We can really use a guy like Alec Burks as that 3rd creator off the bench

I wanted Alec Burks as a THJ cheaper replacement back then.
And now, he's not only the cheaper option, but is the better player.
Now can we just trade for Hayes instead?
Shooting 31% from 2 and 3, just like THJ.

Break up the Kings. They ended a 7 game losing streak vs the Grizz while winning their 7th straight.

Such a deceptive title. It makes it sound like she changed her mind or lost her motivation to sue. But this is only the tail end of a bigger story, and the rest of the story - the real result - is that the Spurs and Primo paid her money (presumably a boatload of it) as a settlement of the lawsuit, after which that lawsuit for damages was dropped (in accord with the terms of the settlement they paid her).

Is Ben Simmons back? Over the last five games...
14.6 pts / 7.0 reb / 6.2 ast / 1.6 stl / 1.2 blk
78.6% FG 53.8% FT
Nets outscored opponents by 35pts with him on the floor.
Watching Nets-Pacers he is finally playing some minutes at center. Just like any other super sized ballhandler it creates a lot of problems for the defense. Pacers bigs have to defend the Nets main ballhandler.

It´s like every single former Mav in the league is just trolling. KP and Brunson look great. Pacers under RC are not only winning with a young team. They also are the best 4th quarter team in the league. Have more comeback wins (trailing to start the 4th) than any other team.
