His last three games:

11/15 - 19 Points / 4 Rebounds / 3 Assists

11/13 - 24 Points / 4 Rebounds / 4 Assists

11/11 - 26 Points / 3 Rebounds / 3 Assists

Average last 3 games: 23 PPG / 4 RPG / 3 APG

pretty great for a rookie

who would you place him higher than on the list? I think 5th is correct. Those other 4 guys have also had big weeks.

Yeah, I noticed that after I posted. He did have some bad games too though, but it's okay because he's just a rookie and he plays for Utah and not LA, so he's not under a microscope.

I like Kuz's consistency and shooting percentages more then Mitchell and DSJ but so far so good.

Nice to see Kuz in the mix. Obviously, Lonzo does not belong
there right now.

Slid over to PG and put up 15/7/8. Dude can play.

I think that list is accurate though the difference between 2-5 is not that great.

assume you would need to contact the NBA to inquire about their page views on the article to know the correct answer.

Tatum is better. And only 19. He will be much better at 22.

The guy is a born scorer, that is why I wanted to draft him. It had nothing to do with Lonzo who I think will be good. He could have been our Kobe.
