For everyone who wanted Wemby to be Croissant KD ... well, I was looking at his stats and his stats are so similar to KD's rookie year stats.

Victor:

FG% - 43%

3P % - 27.5%

PPG - 19.2

FT% - 82.4%

Rebounds - 9.5 pg

EFG% - 47.5%

​

KD's rookie year:

FG% - 43%

3P % - 28.8%

PPG - 20.3

FT% - 87.3%

Rebounds - 4.4

EFG% - 45.1%

​

Obviously there are some differences (Wemby is a better rebounder), but many more similarities. People forget that KD did not truly start putting up "KD"-like stats until his sophomore year.

Tyrese Maxey is leading the league in MPG at 38.4 MPG.

Other players on the "if he dies, he dies" list:

2. Fred Van Fleet (37.6)

3. Jayson Tatum (37.0)

4. KD (36.9)

5. Shaedon Sharpe (36.5)

This might not be very popular, but Joel Embiid is currently leading the league in PPG at 31.9 ppg. He is having another really good season.

Rounding out the top 10:

2. KD (31.4 ppg)

3. Luka Doncic (30.5 ppg)

4. SGA (30.4)

5. Giannis (29.7)

6. Steph (29.7)

7. Jokic (28.2)

8. Jayson Tatum (27.8)

9. Anthony Edwards (26.7)

10. Tyrese Maxey (26.3)

This list matches the eye test very well.
