NBA - Did You Know?

Here are some interesting tidbits from the first two weeks of the season:

- Kevin Martin of the Kings is 4th in scoring at 26.8 ppg.
- Chris Kaman of the Clippers leads in rebounding at 16.5
- Ray Allen of the Celtics is 2nd in FG% at 63.16%. Sick, considering he is a 2-guard.
- Former BC Eagle, Craig Smith, is 4th in the same category at 61.91%
- Two Celtics are in the top 5 in steals per game, Garnett (3.33) and Rajon Rondo (3.33)
- The Miami Heat are collectively shooting 62.25% from the line. That's disgusting. On the flip side, Dallas shoots it like they get paid millions of dollars to do a job, at 88.89%.
- Nobody shoots it better from WAY DOWNTOWN than Toronto, who is hitting 47% of their threes. No one is worse than the Wiz, who are hitting 25% of their threes.
- League leader in fouls per game: Kirk Hinrich. Bet you didn't know that.
- Rookie scoring leaders: Durant (21.7), Yi (11.8), Jeff Green (10.4), Horford (8.8), some guy named Jarmario Moon on the Raptors (7.3). There is a good reason the Sonics are 0-5. I'm not sure it's a great thing for your team's success to have two guys in the top 5 rookie scorers.
