Do the other players on the left ring a bell? If Anthony Davis can keep this pace up, it will go down as one of the great individual seasons of all-time. However, the New Orleans Pelicans are currently out of the playoffs, and Davis has received little if any MVP consideration. The Pelicans are 7-3 in their last 10 games, and if they can make a push up the standings, Davis will explode into the national spotlight.
This chart illustrates it's a pretty tight game between the PER of the top NBA players. But is there any way this could clarify which years these stats came from? I initially saw Davis's PER as 26.47 (from the first source) because I was looking at the 2013-2014 stats. Thanks!
Fixed! Thanks, much easier to understand with the dates.
