Kicking us off, once again after his illustrious ace last time, it's our ol' pal trollface. He selected Tony Wroten, who, best I can tell, is not on an NBA roster at the moment.

He was last seen with the 76ers, appearing in only 8 games last season.

Our other incorrect selected by two entrants is my boy Dennis Schroder. Pretty bold, to take a young player expected to get a big bump in minutes to see a similarly big bump in usage. And he has this season, but his usage falls just short for this question, at 27.4%.

Now we're down to the would-be ace hunters. Our next incorrect is Aaron Gordon. He's played a lot more minutes in this, his second season, but his usage checks in at 19.7%.

Our next incorrect was closer still! Devin Booker has taken a big step forward with the Suns, and they're even sort of exciting these days. His usage is 26.9%.

Our final incorrect is Reggie Jackson. He missed the early part of the season, and has been used efficiently since he returned. Unfortunately, he also just missed for this question, as his usage checks in at 26.9%.

This question's SHEEP answer is worth 6 points. Damian Lillard doesn't play a ton of defense, but the offense runs through him. His usage is currently 30.7%.

Our next-most popular correct answer is Russell Westbrook. This shouldn't be surprising, because anybody who watches him play would confirm he plays like a maniac. He comfortably leads the league in usage, at a comical 41.9%.

Next we have a trio of 3 point answers. DeMarcus Cousins may have questionable motivation, but dude can ball when he wants to. His team's offense runs through him, because they don't really have much else in Sacramento. He's 2nd in the league in usage, at 37.3%

Our next 3 point answer is Carmelo Anthony. Maybe he should get traded, maybe he won't want to be traded, who knows, but the Knicks are suddenly frisky after knocking off the Spurs last night. Carmelo's usage is 29.6%.

Our final 3-point answer is the reigning MVP, Stephen Curry. With the arrival of KD, his usage is down from what it was last season, but it's still a respectable 28.9%.

Our next corrects are a pair of 2-point answers. The King himself, LeBron James, has a 29.5% usage rate. The Cavs are the only team with TWO qualifiers for this question: Kyrie, who went unguessed, and LeBron.

Our other 2-point correct was played by yours truly. It was pretty easy to forecast big things for James Harden with "7 seconds or less" himself, Mike D'Antoni. Harden is 3rd in the NBA in usage at 34.5%.

DeMar DeRozan is just mid-ranging his way to the top of the scoring leaderboard this season. His usage is 4th in the NBA, at 34.3%.

Blake Griffin missed some time this season, but he comfortably clears the minimum minutes played requirement for this question, and has a usage of 29.5%.

Our final ace was played by our leader and noted needledick gus. Direct your butthurt over that to me, not him, for not adequately anticipating all contingencies for making the rules. Be that as it may, spotting gus 3 free questions, he's still only been incorrect twice so far, which is quite a run and worthy of the top spot. He played Anthony Davis, who checks in at 6th in the NBA in usage, at 32.7.
