Thought it would be interesting to take a look at the guards and wings drafted in the top 5 over the past 5 years. The stats are from this season, so we have rookies through 5th year guys. I sorted the players by points scored. The first table has no player names. The same table with the player names is added below the jump.
| Player | Position | Age | Minutes | Points | Rebounds | Assists | FG% | 3PT% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | F | 23 | 38.6 | 28.0 | 8.0 | 3.5 | 0.496 | 0.387 |
| B | G | 23 | 35.3 | 23.6 | 4.6 | 5.5 | 0.457 | 0.316 |
| C | G | 23 | 35.3 | 21.8 | 3.4 | 7.9 | 0.435 | 0.312 |
| D | G | 19 | 30.5 | 18.5 | 3.7 | 5.4 | 0.469 | 0.399 |
| E | G | 22 | 31.4 | 16.8 | 4.1 | 3.7 | 0.491 | 0.390 |
| F | G | 22 | 34.3 | 16.5 | 4.6 | 4.5 | 0.453 | 0.202 |
| G | G | 21 | 36.2 | 16.3 | 4.5 | 8.0 | 0.423 | 0.071 |
| H | G | 24 | 35.1 | 12.7 | 2.5 | 6.5 | 0.433 | 0.377 |
| I | G | 24 | 26.8 | 12.6 | 3.2 | 2.6 | 0.408 | 0.364 |
| J | G | 21 | 34.2 | 10.6 | 4.2 | 8.2 | 0.357 | 0.340 |
| K | G | 23 | 26.4 | 9.4 | 5.8 | 2.8 | 0.446 | 0.224 |
| L | F | 24 | 22.6 | 6.0 | 2.7 | 0.9 | 0.398 | 0.314 |
Obviously some of the players are pretty easy to guess. Looking at these players, I was amazed by how poorly many of them shoot. Rose, Wall, Turner and Johnson in particular.
| Player | Position | Age | Minutes | Points | Rebounds | Assists | FG% | 3PT% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kevin Durant | F | 23 | 38.6 | 28.0 | 8.0 | 3.5 | 0.496 | 0.387 |
| Russell Westbrook | G | 23 | 35.3 | 23.6 | 4.6 | 5.5 | 0.457 | 0.316 |
| Derrick Rose | G | 23 | 35.3 | 21.8 | 3.4 | 7.9 | 0.435 | 0.312 |
| Kyrie Irving | G | 19 | 30.5 | 18.5 | 3.7 | 5.4 | 0.469 | 0.399 |
| James Harden | G | 22 | 31.4 | 16.8 | 4.1 | 3.7 | 0.491 | 0.390 |
| Tyreke Evans | G | 22 | 34.3 | 16.5 | 4.6 | 4.5 | 0.453 | 0.202 |
| John Wall | G | 21 | 36.2 | 16.3 | 4.5 | 8.0 | 0.423 | 0.071 |
| Mike Conley | G | 24 | 35.1 | 12.7 | 2.5 | 6.5 | 0.433 | 0.377 |
| O.J. Mayo | G | 24 | 26.8 | 12.6 | 3.2 | 2.6 | 0.408 | 0.364 |
| Ricky Rubio | G | 21 | 34.2 | 10.6 | 4.2 | 8.2 | 0.357 | 0.340 |
| Evan Turner | G | 23 | 26.4 | 9.4 | 5.8 | 2.8 | 0.446 | 0.224 |
| Wesley Johnson | F | 24 | 22.6 | 6.0 | 2.7 | 0.9 | 0.398 | 0.314 |
Don't really have any conclusion to draw from this, we've debated Tyreke pretty much to death at this point, just thought it would be interesting to look at.
