Okay, maybe G.O.A.T. is overstating it -- remember, Wilt Chamberlain existed -- but Houston Rockets center Clint Capela is having a breakout season. Advanced statistics like player efficiency rating (PER), total rebound rate (TBR), offensive rebound rate (ORR), defensive rebound rate (DRR), value added (VA), estimated wins added (EWA), and true shooting percentage (TS%) are loving the dude.
| Clint Capela - 2017-18 | PER | REBR | ORR | DRR | VA | EWA | TS% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average | 27.67 | 25.2 | 14.6 | 36.1 | 92.5 | 3.1 | 70.8% |
| NBA Rank | 8 | 3 | T-12 | 3 | 9 | 9 | 7 |
Right about now, you might be asking yourself, "But can this Capela fellow play defense?"
Hells to the yeah.
