When we started publishing The Bernucca List just over a year ago, the plan was to make it a fun way to engage the reader and challenge their basketball intelligence.
We had no idea that it would become this competitive.
After a brief absence, reader Brian Rivel has returned to provide the correct answer to last week’s list, which was “active players represented by agent Rob Pelinka.”
It marked the third time this season Rivel has provided the correct answer. He answered two in a row last month, then was mysteriously absent for a week.
Rivel’s three correct answers vaulted him ahead of reader Brian C., who also has had two correct answers this season. However, he has not been heard from in some time.
Perhaps Brian C. will make his return with this week’s list, which is after the jump.
RIVERS min fg% 3pt%
12-13 NOH 24 15 28.2 0.361 0.375 0.618 0.2 2.0 2.2 2.8 0.6 0.2 1.5 2.2 7.9
ending with pts per game. So in 28 min a game he is averaging 2.8 assists. And 1.5 turnovers. Taylor in about the same min is averaging 39%, 1 ass and.50 turnovers. Or tyler zeller…also about the same minutes per game…a tad fewer….averaging 46%…..no threes, and five boards…..one and change turnovers. Now zeller is a center, ok. But 47% compared to 36% is pretty significant when rivers does nothing else. Zeller does a lot else. Play defense for openers. Even jonas valuncianus……23 min. a game…roughly the same….averaging 8 pts….shooting FIFTY TWO percent and five and a half boards. Where is big Val on this list?? I mean you have to defend this sort of absurdity. Im a big fan of sheridan hoops and this column. But man, you are so wrong here.
I like Zeller. I just don’t think he’s top 10. He has cracked the rankings before, and I’m watching. Maybe he will get in again. And thanks for the kind words. Happy holidays.
PS: This also is not the rookie column
Still active franchise all time leaders in points:
Bosh for Toronto Raptors
Kobe for LA Lakers
KG for the Wolves
Pau for the Memphis Grizzlies
Howard for the Magic
James for the Cavs
Dirk for the Mavs
Wade for the Heat
Wallace for the Bobcats
Ody P is the winner. Very nice job!
