5 NBA Stats to Know From the Last Week
Pace
In fantasy hoops, pace -- the number of possessions per 48 minutes for a team or player -- is one of the sexiest stats on the scene. As one might suspect, quickness plays an important role in determining once's pace, so here are the 10 speedy gents who top the list
| Rank | Player | Team | Pace |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | D'Angelo Russell | BKN | 111.00 |
| 2 | DeMarre Carroll | BKN | 109.58 |
| 3 | Josh Jackson | PHO | 109.07 |
| 4 | Allen Crabbe | BKN | 108.73 |
| 5 | Devin Booker | PHO | 107.98 |
| 6 | Timothe Luwawu-Cabbarot | PHI | 107.82 |
| 7 | T.J. McConnell | PHI | 107.67 |
| 8 | Mike James | PHO | 107.51 |
| 9 | Stephen Curry | GS | 107.19 |
| 10 | Rondae Hollis-Jefferson | BKN | 107.12 |
Lotsa Nets, lotsa Suns, a couple Sixers, and a Dub. What does that tell us?
Well, if you compare Brooklyn's, Phoenix's, and Philly's combined win total (22) to Golden State's (13), you realize that individual pace doesn't really equate to victories.
Pace. Great for fantasy. Not so hot for reality.
