- Why the Lakers are still the team to beat: Gasol is 6th, Bynum 16th, Kobe 21st, and Odom 26th. Four of the top 26 most efficient/productive players in the league.
- Kevin Love is 1st whether sorting by total score or by score/48 min. He has 1 year left on his deal. Who is going to make a run at him?
- Dwight Howard has taken it to another level. I always criticized him for having no offense, but he is improving rapidly; his line now reads 23-14 with 2.3 blocks. 2nd in efficiency/48 min.
- Surprisingly high: Love 1st, Gasol 6th, Blake Griffin 7th, Al Horford 10th, Tyson Chandler 24th.
- Surprisingly low: Durant 22nd and Carmelo 25th (pure scorers only)
- Tim Duncan at his age is still 11th per 48 min. and Steve Nash 15th.

Efficiency Rankings
I frequently take a glance at the NBA efficiency rankings, but I don't typically re-sort it using the 48-min column which corrects for certain players playing tons of minutes, or very few. Some very interesting results:

I love this stuff.
I would like to see the top two on each team and if they had different numbers on a previous team.
The idea is that great players make it easier for this number to expand.
The Lakers are really good and shouldn't be allowed to physically abuse teams because they can't play defense anymore.
