Best player in the league through 3 games.
According to VORP, yep!

And Torrey Craig is #3! :shock:

Mikal is #9 and KD is #12. Oops. ;)

Zubac is 199, so DA’s winning the matchup. ;)

VORP can be kinda goofy sometimes, but not when someone (Booker) is averaging 44mpg. That's legitimate.

Right.

It's actually a pretty good "eye test" metric if you're actually paying attention to what's happening in the game and not just looking at box scores. Lee, for example, had one good shift so that's his only sample. Paul and Ayton have played a lot more minutes which also means a lot more opportunities to suck, but everyone knows they're not a less valuable player than Lee.

I’m surprised Bookers VORP isn’t higher, I mean he’s averaging 4.5 stocks a game. Usually BPM loves that. I guess they don’t like his lack of rebounds.

Book is 33.0/5.0/2.7 with 3.7 steals and 2.7 blocks per game so far and shooting 60/41/87 for a .688 TS%
I was 1 off on his steals and blocks, just 2.7 and 1.7, but I was also off on his points, he’s 36.3

Worried about wear and tear, though. Suns had better finish this in 5.

Booker is playing out of his mind and probably grateful Durant is being doubled instead of him now. Clippers picked their poison but, it was still poison.
In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.

Thanks. I'll have to watch that again. Maybe I wasn't aware of him when I watched that all those years ago. Always liked Harland on Conan though.
