Breakdown Chet Holmgren

    Overview

  • Experts rank this player at 7th among C's. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 52nd with 430 total points (33.08 avg).
  • He is currently 2611 points behind the leader: Nikola Jokic
  • He is in a heck of a slump. If he is star player then he should rebound.
  • Decline in numbers lately by 4.4 PPG.
  • Performance Stats

  • Shooting 40.91% from the field this month. Not very good at all for a big man.
  • Shooting 37.50% from beyond the arc this month. Not horrible, but not too good either.
  • Assists per game numbers are 0.23 apg.
  • Rebounds per game numbers are bad for a center / power forward at 1.77 rpg this month.
  • Bonus Qualities

  • Played in 41 less games this year than last year.

Breakdown Walker Kessler

    Overview

  • Experts rank this player at 10th among C's. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 15th with 1299 total points (32.48 avg).
  • He is currently 1742 points behind the leader: Nikola Jokic
  • He is putting up the kind of numbers the experts expected him to.
  • His average points in the past two weeks have increased by 10.3 PPG. That is great, but how long can he perform at this level? If you don't have the confidence he can keep it up, then trade him for a sure thing.
  • Performance Stats

  • Shooting 71.25% from the field this month. Very impressive for a big man.
  • Shooting 0.00% from beyond the arc this month. I'd love to play against him in a game of 'HORSE'.
  • Assists per game numbers are alright for a center but nothing to brag about at 1.14 apg.
  • Rebounds per game numbers are good for a center / power forward with 9.57 rpg this month.
  • Bonus Qualities

  • Played in 16 less games this year than last year.
  • At this point in the season his numbers compared to last years: PPG: +3.98, APG: +0.85, RPG: +5.59, MPG: +10.2 STLS: +0.15 BLKS: +0.09
