10 players in the league averaging more than 10 points, five rebounds, and five assists per game. They are ....Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, LeBron James, Jason Kidd, Chris Webber, Steve Francis, Larry Hughes, Dwyane Wade ..... and, you tell me.

READ and heed. That wasn't the criteria. It was: 10p 5r 5a. Nothing about top 50 anything. Sura has the creds.

if Sura has 5 APG, then he would be in the Top50, because the 50th has 3.6 APG, BUT, ok, he doesn't have enough total games or total assists to qualify for Top50.

How many games do you need to qualify? He's played 35 for Houston.

OK, Brevin Knight is 2nd in assists, and he's only played 33 games. Denmark, as in, something's rotten in...

In the past, there was a rider for people without enough games to qualify:

Take their total number of stats and divide by the minimum number of games needed to qualify. If that per game average is still high enough to rank them among the leaders, then they still get to be listed as a leader.

I think that's been changed now to either a) minimum number of games or b) minimum number of X regardless of number of games played. Knight probably gets in because he has the minimum number of assists. That's also why Kirilenko is listed as the BPG leader, even though he's only played 22 games.

It took me a good 2 or 3 seconds to figure it out.

Surprising, and encouraging! Sura, Wesley, and Barry were great pickups for Houston. They just needed to clean house. If only they could move Mo now...

Too bad the Spurs couldnt have pulled off the Mercer for Bob Sura deal.


Bob Sura on this team as a back up point wouldve been FANTASTIC!
