5 NBA Stats to Know From the Last Week
The numbers tell us that Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, and Paul George should quit dominating the rock. What other interesting factoids did we learn this week?

The Orlando Magic Are Insanely Efficient

Who has the biggest Big Three?

According to the player efficiency rating metric, it's not the Oklahoma City Thunder's triumvirate. Golden State's Big Four can't even hang in this discussion.

The Orlando Magic -- one of the NBA's top teams, if you'll recall -- are the only squad in the Association with three players in ranked in the top-20 in Player Efficiency Rating (min. 30 minutes).

Ranking Player Team PER
1 Giannis Antetokounmpo MIL 36.47
2 Anthony Davis NO 33.33
3 Stephen Curry GS 30.83
4 DeMarcus Cousins NO 28.28
5 LeBron James CLE 28.01
6 Karl-Anthony Towns MIN 27.96
7 Victor Oladipo IND 26.01
8 Steven Adams OKC 26
9 LaMarcus Aldridge SA 25.92
10 Kristaps Porzingis NY 25.88
11 Kemba Walker CHA 25.8
12 AARON GORDON ORL 25.39
13 Otto Porter Jr. WAS 24.79
14 Russell Westbrook OKC 24.75
15 NIKOLA VUCEVIC ORL 23.97
16 Kevin Durant GS 24.06
17 EVAN FOURNIER ORL 23.97
18 Damian Lillard POR 23.56
19 James Harden HOU 23.51
20 Blake Griffin LAC 23.34


Whether Aaron Gordon, Nikola Vucevic, or Evan Fournier can keep it up -- or whether Orlando can stay relevant -- is up for debate. But for the time being, it's fun to watch the Magic do stuff like this.
