DDR paying 15-1 to lead the league in scoring, seems like good value?

DDR has changed his game, it seems like he was making moves to get open and then trying to hit his shot in the past. It now seems like his moves are a little slower because he knows he is going to get the shot off and all he has to do is make it so he is focussing on the shot the whole time during his dribbling/post move.

Looks like Harden so far.

Paul, Harden, Westbrook and Leonard seem like the most likely 4 at this point. Harden would win if the season was 7 games, but it isn't. The Rockets worse record than SAS and LAC at end of season will probably doom him. Remember he didn't even make All-NBA as an 8 seed (lol whoever votes on that)

What about CP3 or Blake? LAC could easily be the #2 seed, and there might be some sentiment driving the vote.

Knicks had a competent center on a decent contract and traded him for Derrick rose and then signed washed up Noah. LOL

Noah been good this year imo. He's awful at scoring, but he's always been. He's a good passer & defender though. Not defending the contract, it's terrible, but he's been >Rolo was last year.

That's especially impressive given that there are two winless teams out there.

There's a decent chance they're the #1 seed

Yep. Not as bad as DeRozan, but he's definitely going to regress.

31% of his shots are 2s from 16+ feet, which is WAY too many. And he's shooting 60.5% on those shots, despite being a career 42% from that distance. He's also only been assisted on 36% of his 2pt FGA. Dallas needs to get him some help quickly.

NO idea that one is really difficult given the low usage and rebounding rates. Has to be a wing getting tons of steals right? I wanted to say RHJ but I know from being a BK guy this year that it isn't. MKG?

I'm gonna guess KCP, but I'd expect his usage to be in the mid to high teens

Not MKG or KCP.

MKG has been about league average in efficiency.

KCP has been less efficient because of a poor shooting start. His usage is 18%. He was a monster last night, unfortunately none of their forwards showed up outside of Jon Leuer.

Looks like a 3/4 guy who can rebound, not a bad passer and somehow is rocking absurd amount of steals due to small sample.

Because of homerism i'm going to guess Harris.

If I were to have a non-pistons guess, i'd go for Kiwi though

edit : nvm about Kiwi, he's got a 33.6 PER so far and absolutely crushing season high in assists
