Breakdown Walker Kessler

    Overview

  • Experts rank this player at 6th among C's. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 14th with 1614 total points (33.63 avg).
  • He is currently 2085 points behind the leader: Nikola Jokic
  • He is putting up close to the kind of numbers the experts expected him to.
  • His average points in the past two weeks have increased by 5 PPG. If you don't have the confidence he can keep it up, then trade him for a sure thing.
  • Performance Stats

  • Shooting 78.79% from the field this month. Very impressive for a big man.
  • Assists per game numbers are alright for a center but nothing to brag about at 1.29 apg.
  • Rebounds per game numbers are good for a center / power forward with 9.21 rpg this month.
  • He is top 10 in the league for rebounds.
  • Bonus Qualities

  • Played in 17 less games this year than last year.

Breakdown Nikola Jovic

  • He is currently 1907 points behind the leader: Jayson Tatum
  • You have to be impressed by how much better he is performing. Can he keep this up or is it a fluke?
