I enjoy taking a look at this periodically to see who is playing well outside of the flashy stats and big names. I go in and sort the player efficiency stats by "per 48 min" to equalize the minutes and look at everyone with more than 25 min per game. This first group is not much of a surprise. Lebron is just so awesome, when will he break through in the playoffs?
- Lebron 39.2
- Kevin Love 34.2
- Dwight Howard 33.7
- Durant 33.4
Then we start getting a few surprises, I don't foresee Millsap, Monroe, or Hawes in the all-star game any time soon, but they do a lot with their minutes. Duncan and Nash are still doing it and Nash is making Gortat a star in Phoenix. I would love to have Steph Curry, he is very underrated. Rose and Westbrook get all the press, but they can't shoot a lick. Cousins is a force, but a thug and headcase. Kobe is getting old.
5. Paul Millsap 32.9
6. Greg Monroe 32.1
7. Chris Paul 31.5
8. Spencer Hawes 31.4
9. Andrew Bynum 31.3
10. LaMarcus Aldridge 31.1
11. Tim Duncan 31.0
12. DeMarcus Cousins 31.0
13. Stephen Curry 30.7
14. Steve Nash 30.5
15. Blake Griffin 30.4
16. Marcin Gortat 30.3
17. Dwayne Wade 30.2
18. Al Jefferson 29.9
19. Kobe 29.5
20. Derrick Rose 29.3

Millsap has been getting snubbed since his college days at Tech.
I love this formula!
Milsaps wasn't much of a shocker, but Monroe was. I am still upset he left La and went to Georgetown.
Hawes,Bynum,Duncan,Cousins,Howard,and Monroe make centers half of the top 12. Add Love and Milsaps and we start to see the rebounds suddenly equal assist in importance.
I see that Kobe and Wade are maintaining their status in my mind. A couple of weeks ago a NBA beat writer had Kobe as MVP, I actually laughed.
