3/31 from 3!! Ouch

Most recent players to have a 20 point / 15 rebound game by their 4th career game:

Julius Randle (2015)
Marc Gasol (2008)
Sharone Wright (1994)
Shaquille O'Neal (1992)

Not bad company for Julius. Having watched the game yesterday, he has handles exactly like Lamar Odom but attacks the rim like Blake Griffin. Very, very unique skill set.

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Wow, Sharone Wright, bringing back memories! Give me some Eric Montross, Khalid Reeves and Yinka Dare also!

insane! I bet Warriors have a high-ish % too but they make it way more

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Ok, warriors have 59% contested (19th highest) of which they make 40.5% (1st in NBA) - NBA average is 60.3%

Lakers take 74% of their 3's contested and make 31% of them (NBA average 33%)

 

[nichj99]

Metta World peace has made only 2 field goal attempts inside the paint this season. In fact, 11 of his 18 made shots this season have been from behind the arc. Remarkably he is shooting 44% from behind the arc yet only 38% inside.

Go Delly!
