Welcome to the Top 10 Boxscore of the Week, a weekly segment on the Boxscore Geeks where we break down our favorite boxscores of the week. While we do use statistical criteria to guide our choices, this list is subjective. With that said, here's our list!
10. Jahlil Okafor - Nov. 13th
- 30 Minutes Played
- 18 Field Goal Attempts
- 0 Free Throw Attempts
- 6 Points, 16.7% True Shooting
- 6 Rebounds (3 Offensive)
- 2 Assists
- 3 Personal Fouls
- 0 Steal
- 4 Turnover
- 3 Blocks
I kind of consider this a tie for the last place on this week's list. Okafor put up the worst scoring night of the week when we account for shot attempts and efficiency. Another fun note? Six of his eighteen shots were blocked!
9. Elfrid Payton - Nov. 11th
- 29 Minutes Played
- 13 Field Goal Attempts
- 2 Free Throw Attempts
- 2 Points, 7.2% True Shooting
- 10 Rebounds (3 Offensive)
- 8 Assists
- 1 Personal Fouls
- 1 Steal
- 1 Turnover
- 0 Blocks
Payton was neck and neck with Jahlil for the worst shooting performance of the week. The rest of his game was solid, which saved him from the last place on the list. Regardless, a 1-13 shooting night is terrible to say the least.
Emmanual Mudiay - Nov. 13th
- 33 Minutes Played
- 10 Field Goal Attempts
- 0 Free Throw Attempts
- 2 Points, 10.0% True Shooting
- 4 Rebounds (1 Offensive)
- 11 Assists
- 2 Personal Fouls
- 2 Steal
- 9 Turnover
- 2 Blocks
Mudiay is still struggling early, particularly with turnovers. With nine, he was "top of the list" this week. His shooting was also rough, but on the bright side, he was able to hand out eleven assists!
7. Rajon Rondo - Nov. 13th
- 44 Minutes Played
- 19 Field Goal Attempts
- 4 Free Throw Attempts
- 23 Points, 55.4% True Shooting
- 10 Rebounds (2 Offensive)
- 14 Assists
- 2 Personal Fouls
- 2 Steal
- 4 Turnover
- 0 Blocks
Rondo's passing has come back this season with a vengeance. He's put up a few triple doubles, but in this one he was able to shoot relatively well (for Rondo). It's good to see Rondo "back", but it'd be nice if he had better people to defer to.
6. Eric Bledsoe - Nov. 14th
- 30 Minutes Played
- 16
- 5 Free Throw Attempts
- 30 Points, 82.4% True Shooting
- 7 Rebounds (0 Offensive)
- 4 Assists
- 0 Personal Fouls
- 2 Steal
- 3 Turnover
- 0 Blocks
Bledsoe has been on an absolute tear his last three games with a True Shooting % in the 80s! His last game against the Nuggets was an exclamation point on the week; sadly it resulted in a pretty big blowout for the Nuggets.
5. Dirk Nowitzki - Nov. 11th
- 33 Minutes Played
- 14 Field Goal Attempts
- 5 Free Throw Attempts
- 31 Points, 95.7% True Shooting
- 11 Rebounds (2 Offensive)
- 1 Assists
- 5 Personal Fouls
- 0 Steal
- 2 Turnover
- 0 Blocks
Dirk and the Mavericks did a pretty decent number on the Clippers. Perhaps they have some pent up aggression against DeAndre Jordan? Dirk looked like his 2007 self with a wild shooting night and a great rebounding night (in a game with both DeAndre Jordan AND Blake Griffin). Dirk has been ignoring father time this season, much to my surprise.
4. Derrick Favors - Nov. 12th
- 40 Minutes Played
- 18 Field Goal Attempts
- 7 Free Throw Attempts
- 25 Points, 59.3% True Shooting
- 12 Rebounds (5 Offensive)
- 2 Assists
- 3 Personal Fouls
- 3 Steal
- 1 Turnover
- 7 Blocks
With Rudy Gobert out, Derrick Favors put up a great game leading the week with seven blocks. The rest of his stat line was also great while he did just about everything his team needed in a very close game.
3. Joakim Noah - Nov. 13th
- 23 Minutes Played
- 4 Field Goal Attempts
- 2 Free Throw Attempts
- 3 Points, 30.7% True Shooting
- 18 Rebounds (7 Offensive)
- 6 Assists
- 3 Personal Fouls
- 1 Steal
- 0 Turnover
- 1 Blocks
Noah is the first player with a horrible True Shooting % to make this list for good reasons. I despise the word "role player", but Noah may very well be the epitome of it. He came off the bench, played limited minutes, and didn't shoot the ball. That said, he pulled down 18 boards and dished the ball six times! Per-minute wise, that's absurd performance.
2. Steph Curry - Nov. 12th
- 37 Minutes Played
- 25 Field Goal Attempts
- 8 Free Throw Attempts
- 46 Points, 80.7% True Shooting
- 5 Rebounds (0 Offensive)
- 4 Assists
- 3 Personal Fouls
- 2 Steal
- 3 Turnover
- 0 Blocks
In unsurprising fashion, Curry returns to the list with the best shooting performance of the week. His absurd MVP start continues. Fun note, Curry is currently shooting over half his shots from three...and connecting! Will he keep it up?
1. Draymond Green - Nov. 12th
- 35 Minutes Played
- 10 Field Goal Attempts
- 5 Free Throw Attempts
- 23 Points, 94.3% True Shooting
- 8 Rebounds (0 Offensive)
- 12Assists
- 3 Personal Fouls
- 2 Steal
- 2 Turnover
- 2 Blocks
Draymond Green completely filled out the box score and almost put up a triple-double while doing it. Draymond Green has the wingspan and weight of a center in the body of a small forward. The result is a player that can do anything, and in this game, he did!
That's our list! Did we miss someone? Are any players too high? Well don't worry, we'll be back next week with another one. If you see any boxscores you think deserve consideration, leave them in the comments or tweet at myself (@nerdnumbers), Patrick (@nbageek), or Brian (@boxscorebrian) with hashtag #BSGTop10. Seeya next time!
