Some Scottie Propaganda

Most Steals + Blocks this season:

  1. Scottie Barnes — 36
  2. Victor Wembanyama — 35
  3. Anthony Davis — 34
  4. Ausar Thompson — 34
  5. Chet Holmgren — 32

I'd also like to add how insane it is that 4 of the top 5 players leading the league in steal + blocks are under the age of 22 lol this next generation of stars are defensive monsters!

the kids are calling it 'stocks' these days 👴

[–] whowasonCRACK2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

“These days”… put some respect on the podfather, Bill Simmon’s name. He’s been calling them stocks for decades

[–] Barncore@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The kids? We were calling it stocks 10+ years ago

[–] h-ugo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Only the kids that are streets behind.

Bleals is streets ahead

Nba has so much talent right now it’s absolutely ridiculous.

[–] Nweber15@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When are they gonna blow it up and build around him?

[–] beefJeRKy-LB@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'd be happy with trading Pascal for a guard prospect and some picks. Everyone else can fit though I would also be open to moving GTJ if you get something else back for him.

[–] iCOULDbewr0ng@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

He’ll be a great 3rd option or 4th option for a championship contender in his prime

Good player.

[–] BriSnyScienceGuy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That's how I feel about Bam.

[–] YoungSidd@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I mean, he'd already be a great 3rd/4th option on most contenders right now

[–] ParisLake2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I predict that Scottie Barnes, barring any injury, will be an All-Star this year.

[–] Original_Trick_8552@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I predict that the Boston Celtics, will make the playoffs this year.

[–] mMounirM@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

the regret of drafting Scoot (who I already dropped) instead of Ausar in Nba Fantasy. smh

[–] MerculesHorse@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I drafted for my brother since he was away, I got Chet cos i first round picked Shai, but I did figure he'd be good. I wanted Scottie but just missed out.

But then I picked up both Thompsons and Sharpe in the final three rounds, just cos I figured they're fun athletes for bro to keep an eye on... I did good.

[–] I_Set_3_Alarms@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

So his stocks are going up?

[–] DeWhite-DeJounte@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wemby being second in the entire NBA in stocks after like 10 games played total in the league is insane......

[–] KnickedUp@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Long arms equals stocks

[–] ArchegosCapitalCEO@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

HE’S GETTING STRONGERRRRRR

[–] costcobathroom@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

he's also leading the league in chromosomes

[–] OutOfBootyExperience@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i was just looking for the full list of Stocks leaders, but stumbled on the NBA "Hustle" leaderboards.

Includes things like loose balls recovered, contested 2s, contested 3s, deflections, Screen assists, etc (and the PER 36 versions of these)

pretty interesting breakdowns that give some credit to the guys that dont always show up in the traditional box scores

EDIT: NBA Hustle Leaders

[–] professorex@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Malachi Flynn being at the top of any league-wide positive list is a shocker

[–] vb90@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The new Kawhi.

[–] Markel100@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Over AD and victor is crazy

[–] KnickedUp@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] jawntothefuture@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Stockie Barnes!

[–] ilickedysharks@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It feels like he's been blocking a 3 every game too. Darko has really unlocked him letting him play closer to the basket and in help defense more

[–] TheApocalyticOne@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Scottie in help defense is scary, no one is safe

[–] WrightwoodHiker@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

People who don’t follow the league closely tend to have low predictions for rookie blocks. It’s not uncommon at all for rookies to be at or near career highs. I expected Wemby to be at this level right away. Walker Kessler had a higher block percentage last season than Wemby does now.

[–] SheepTag1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Seems a bit misleading, AD has one less game played so would actually be the leader in per game values

[–] Tehni@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

3 rookies in this list God damn this class is stacked

[–] Sinnedyo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I got the wrong twin

[–] RealPrinceJay@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wemby, Ausar, Chet

3 rookies in the top 5 is insane

Also using totals instead of per game feels… fishy…

[–] thayungsavage@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Stockie Barnes

[–] tigerpawx@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Lol and lots of fans says didn’t draft Franz Wagner was a mistake

[–] Far-Asparagus6416@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

So many young dudes thats crazy

[–] downgoesbatman@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

People should be looking at Gobert with his contract and limitations on offense...

[–] Sinnedyo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

My fantasy leagueeeee

[–] OrSomethingLikeDat@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Oh would you look at that, 3/5 are on my fantasy team
