Dinwiddie is obviously having an efficient start with a PER among the top-10 point guards & shooting guards, and number 26 in the entire NBA according to EPM ... right alongside DeArron Fox, Jrue Holiday and Devin Booker. Brunson currently ranks number 106.
SGA versus Ja ... They do it differently, and with different levels of fanfare, but their numbers are strikingly similar. Numbers 10 and 11 respectively, according to EPM.
Harden is playing well (when he plays) but Philly is not. Number 13
KP and Markkanen check-in at #14 and #15. LM might look good in Dallas as a Maxi upgrade, but I'm not sure he could play next to Wood as well as Maxi can.
Hield starting well at #31
Dallas has two players in the top-30 (Luka #2 and Spencer #26).
Brooklyn has two (KD #3 and Claxton #16).
Milwaukee has three (Giannis #4, Lopez #6, Jrue #27).
Toronto has three (Van Vleet #12, OG #20, Siakam #21).
Memphis has two (Morant #11, Bane #19)
Dragic is playing well at #53 overall
Wood is the next Maverick on the list after LD and SD. Wood is #66
Dennis Smith Jr is #67
Powell #88
Green #125
DFS #159
McGee #239
THJ #264
Bullock #306
Maxi #343
I have questions about SGA´s desire to win given how long he has taken part in this tanking charade. Surely if they do it to him again this year, he´ll demand a trade. He´d be my #1 trade target.
I also think, if the Thunder land Wembanyama, the Mavs should go after Pokusevski. He´s a lot like Kirilenko. Good passer, rebounder, shot-blocker and can´t shoot for sh*t.
