Interesting (and mostly meaningless) distribution so far.

Aldridge, Wallace, Thomas, and Crawford are very close together. But, only 4 games.

I check this after every game and sort by team to see Blazers.

Lol. Aldridge is our highest ranked player at #77. But there are 5 major rotation players with PER's over 15: http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/POR/2012.html. And our record is a respectable but not earth-shattering 3-1.

Obviously, 4 games is a pretty shaky sample size for PER. But the early similarities to the '98-99 team kind of seem there. That team started 2-2, with road losses to two mediocre playoff teams that are kind of similar to our loss to the Clips. They then went on a 5 win binge. So, uh, plan for that.

2 of the top 80. Meaningless, but it will be fun to track the rest of the way

Fun fact: OKC, two in the top 10.

Another fun fact: OKC is a lot better than we are LOL

Fun fact: OKC, two in the top 10.

And one of them isn't Westbrook, I'm guessing.

Hasheem Thabeet FTW!!!! But Craig Smith is #15...

Yup. Harden and Durant.

If you click on the WS/48 column, there's a guy who'll win 104% of the game for you.

Not particularly. Are you?
