I know it's only 2 games but it was interesting to see us having 2 so high up. I think the last time we had 2 scoring threats like this was Clyde and Kiki.
I don't want to jinx it, and I know it's just two games in, but Damian's PER is superstar level right now: 27.2, with a WS/48 of .307 (also superstar level), and a raw FG% of 48.5% (way up from last year). And to my eyes, it's all coming in the flow, with no attempt at taking over needed. He's just doing work, and taking care of the ball. Leads the team in assists, and only has one turnover in two games.
I am happy to say that I have two of the above players on my sportstwo fantasy team. And also, we are going to have a special player in Dame. He is only going to get better. Let's enjoy this!
The Thunder are missing Westbrook like crazy. That team went from extremely talented with Durant, Westbrook, and Harden, to just completely one dimensional now.
Talking of weirdness, check out the PER rankings: Kevin Durant - 29th LeBron James - 38th Stephen Curry - 50th Dwight Howard - 78th
Watch: Durant's going to go down, they'll be in the lottery and they'll get Wiggins. It'll be like the Spurs getting Tim Duncan...
Nice top-10 pairings. Two Pauls, two Kevins, and DeMarcus/LaMarcus. If only LeBron were alongside Harden, then we'd also have two James.
I was going to say.... Notice also he's shooting 14.5 free throws a game and making 90% of them. Note to Blazers: Don't breath on the new golden child, Kevin Durant.
I noticed LMA is taking the most shots on that list. In other words, not drawing enough contact in the paint.
Two games in, but Dame is really playing well. After the rookie season he has last year, all he really needed to do is up his shooting percentages and down his turnovers and we have a superstar on our hands. I'm giddy thinking about that cold-blooded assassin in the playoffs.
