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 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[–] h-ugo@alien.top 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] beefJeRKy-LB@alien.top 1 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

That's how I feel about Bam.

[–] YoungSidd@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] ParisLake2@alien.top 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[–] mMounirM@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] MerculesHorse@alien.top 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

So his stocks are going up?

[–] DeWhite-DeJounte@alien.top 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

Long arms equals stocks

[–] ArchegosCapitalCEO@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

HE’S GETTING STRONGERRRRRR

[–] costcobathroom@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

he's also leading the league in chromosomes

[–] OutOfBootyExperience@alien.top 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[–] vb90@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The new Kawhi.

[–] Markel100@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Over AD and victor is crazy

[–] KnickedUp@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago
[–] jawntothefuture@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Stockie Barnes!

[–] ilickedysharks@alien.top 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

Scottie in help defense is scary, no one is safe

[–] WrightwoodHiker@alien.top 1 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

3 rookies in this list God damn this class is stacked

[–] Sinnedyo@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I got the wrong twin

[–] RealPrinceJay@alien.top 1 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

Stockie Barnes

[–] tigerpawx@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Far-Asparagus6416@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

So many young dudes thats crazy

[–] downgoesbatman@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Sinnedyo@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

My fantasy leagueeeee

[–] OrSomethingLikeDat@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

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