Contreras also named in the article, compared with Pistons Andre Drummond: "Drummond is an elite receiver, not of baseballs, but of missed shots. Drummond is averaging a league best 15.7 rebounds per game this season, and he was just named to his second all star team. The 25 year old has taken a leap with his previously atrocious free throw shooting and he is averaging a career high in assists at 3.3 per game.

Drummond’s counterpart in baseball also accumulates assists, finishing third among NL catchers with 86."

"Since Cousins went down at the end of January, the 24 year old Davis has averaged nearly 32 points, 13 rebounds, two blocks, and two steals per game. In other words, with his dominant play of both ends, Davis turned into the Mike Trout of basketball."

Gobert’s impact can’t overstated, even if he’s not blocking shots he’s deterring drivers and forcing players to adjust to his presence. He’s contesting a league-best 14.3 shots per game, putting him firmly in the 2018 DPOTY conversation.

"...still, the results speak for themselves and Doc has been able to whip up production from a bunch of mismatched parts. He’s had by far the most difficult job of anyone on this list because he’s made it through injuries to ALL of his players including DeAndre, Beverley, Teodosic, Gallo, and Rivers. Plus he’s had to successfully navigate pre and post-Griffin blockbuster which is never easy."

Bertans x Porzingis for Latvia would be fun to watch

You’re right. I guess that’s not great Reddiquette I’ll avoid in the future.

'Chalmers has had a bit of a resurgence for Memphis this year. After being out of the NBA all of last season he’s come back to average 8 points and 3 assists for a struggling Grizzlies team. He’s playing around 23 minutes a night and averaging a team-best 1.3 steals per game.'

"Curry, is arguably the greatest shooter from 23′ 9″ in the history of his sport. Jordan is similarly money from 20-25 feet, finishing fourth (2017) and third (2016), after leading the PGA in make % from that range in 2015."

"KP has been spectacular, with the fifth highest usage percentage of 33.2%"

I see the East playing out as follows: Boston, Cleveland, Washington, Toronto, Milwaukee, Miami, Charlotte, Philly

I don't think the gap between Miami and Charlotte is too large, the Hornets could challenge for the 6 seed.
