Blah blah, it's D-league not a big deal, but it's nice to see how our second rounders are doing statistically. We know these guys won't show up and have the same level of contribution if they make a NBA roster. I will say I have not watched the games, so anything here is simply counting stats and not eye test.
Nader is shooting a blistering 55/45/87 on 17 shots per game, with a USG of 26%. In comparison, IT is at 31%, while players like Jabari, LMA, and Booker all sit around 26%. His EFG% is 61%, which is similar to players like Durant and Steph Curry. Notably though, he has a -1.4 Net Rating. His low assists numbers are also a bad sign, and thanks a bad turnover game last night he now has a T/A ratio of .8
Jalen Jones was signed for training camp, and is a forward like Nader. His best statistical game was last night, going for 31 points with 63% shooting, 4/7 from, 7/9 from the line, and 13 rebounds. He boasts a 5.7 Net Rating. Like Nader doesn't move the ball too much though, which makes sense since these guys are trying to get some NBA playing time.
Finally, Demetrius Jackson is 22/6/7, shooting 50% from the floor, but with 3 turnovers a game or so. He's also in the negative with a -1.2 Net rating. What I love about his stats is his rebounding rater, which is around 10%, or number that is top 10 in the NBA for guards.
These stats are over 4 games. Their defensive numbers took a big hit from a 153-128 loss (yikes)
