No Blake. No Faried. No Lee. No Randolph. Oh, but the
top overall pick makes his first appearance, and Philly’s human pogo stick
leads the pack! Here’s to the young ‘uns!
Note: All of
the following stats are based on the last five games of each player as computed
by HoopsStats.com. Stats were taken on March 19, 2013 (Manila time).
5. Dirk
Nowitzki (DAL) - 18.4ppg, 9.8rpg, 1.6spg, .476 3pt%, .933 FT%, 23.6 EFF
The Dunking Deutchman is welcomed back to realm of
the living! He is shooting nearly 48% from three and more than 93% from the
line – vintage Dirk!!! Just in time for Dallas’s last ditch run at a Playoff
berth, or too late the hero?

4. Anthony
Davis (NOH) - 17.6ppg, 11.0rpg, 1.0spg, 1.4bpg, .529 FG%, 24.0 EFF
The top pick is here! The top pick is here! Maybe
it’s a little too late for him to give Damian Lillard some ROY jitters, but,
hey, there’s a lot of All-Star potential in this young big. I predict he’ll be
the best talent on a bad team next season, and then he’ll leave NOH for a
fatter paycheck somewhere.
3. Tim
Duncan (SAS) - 22.3ppg, 11.8rpg, 1.5bpg, .582 FG%, .917 FT%, 28.0 EFF
Vintage Duncan is #3 in a list with Vintage Dirk. TD continues
to add to his best-PF-ever resume with a fundamentally polished game that
nobody can touch. Nearly 60% from the floor and 92% from the line? And he’s
gonna be 37 soon? Does he do Rust-Guard every morning or something?
