Boston's Al Jefferson and Atlanta's Josh Smith deserve credit for putting up some decent numbers last week, but they didn't quite qualify for the top 10. An international baller and a big man from the Northwest did manage to crack the lineup, however. Here's how this week's rankings look:
|
1. Emeka Okafor, F-C, Charlotte (No. 2)
Stats: 13.9 PPG, 10.6 RPG, 1.1 APG (25.6 PRA)
Upcoming: at Clippers (12/6), at Sac. (12/7), at Pho. (12/10), at G.S. (12/12)
Breakdown: Followed up a 26-point, 12-rebound, 3-block outing against the Nets with 20 points and 18 boards in an impressive win against the Knicks. The Bobcats have won three of their last five, and Okafor is averaging 20.4 ppg, 13.2 rpg and 1.60 bpg over that stretch.

2. Dwight Howard, F, Orlando (No. 1)
Stats: 9.8 PPG, 10.4 RPG, 1.4 APG (21.6 PRA)
Upcoming: at Den. (12/6), at Utah (12/8), at G.S. (12/10), at Lakers (12/12)
Breakdown: After grabbing 10 or more rebounds in his first nine games, Howard has only reached double-digits on the glass three times over his last seven games. The Magic have won five out of six, though, and the high-schooler's minutes haven't dropped at all.

3. Luol Deng, G-F, Chicago (No. 7)
Stats: 14.5 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 1.9 APG (21.8 PRA)
Upcoming: vs. S.A. (12/6), vs. Cle. (12/8), vs. Phi. (12/10), vs. Min. (12/11)
Breakdown: Deng is still a steady scorer (12.8 ppg over his last four games), but fellow Bulls rooks Gordon, Duhon and Nocioni have stepped it up lately, meaning things are at least starting to get a little crowded in Chicago's backcourt.

Breakdown: Totaled 33 points and hit 4-of-10 3-pointers over Chicago's last three games. Seems to be adjusting well to a scorer's role off the pine.

Breakdown: After scoring a season-high (15) against the Magic last Monday, Iguodala totaled just nine points over his next three games, though he did contribute 13 rebounds and 10 assists over that stretch. The Sixers have dropped four straight games, however.

8. Kris Humphries, F, Utah (No. 14)
Stats: 3.6 PPG, 1.9 RPG, 0.6 APG (6.1 PRA)
Upcoming: vs. Mia. (12/6), vs. Orl. (12/8), vs. Por. (12/10), at Por. (12/12)
Breakdown: After dropping five of seven games, Jerry Sloan shook up the Jazz lineup a bit, which led to a spike in Humphries' minutes. Over the last three games, the rookie out of Minnesota has averaged 20.7 mpg, and put up 13 points and 4 rebounds against Phoenix. Unfortunately, Utah has dropped their last four in a row.

10. Quinton Ross, G, L.A. Clippers (Undrafted)
Stats: 4.9 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 1.0 APG (8.4 PRA)
Upcoming: vs. Cha. (12/6), vs. Lakers (12/11)
Breakdown: The Clippers continue to impress in the West thanks in no small part to the steady play of Ross. The SMU rookie is averaging 8.0 ppg and 3.6 rpg over the Clips' last five games. Most impressively, however, when "The New Q" plays more than 30 minutes in a game, his squad is 4-0.

현재 까지 경기 운영 능력은 배노가 데빈 보다 나아 보입니다. 다만 데빈의 그 사기 같은 스피드는 정말이지... 잠재력은 가슴 아프지만 데빈에게 더 주고 싶네요. 하긴 그러니깐 5번 픽으로 뽑혔겠죠. 그리고 배노가 발 까지 빨랐다면 스퍼스가 건지는 건 불가능했겠죠.-_-;
