I typically try to look at the NBA efficiency rankings around this time every year. Pretty much the same cast of characters. The one youngster making an impact is Anthony Davis. I'm not listing them all, but it's always interesting.
1. Durant - 30.5 - carrying the load and better than ever
2. Lebron - 29.0 - cruising a little bit more but still the best when he needs it
3. Chris Paul - 27.4
4. Kevin Love - 27.4 - why didn't he force a move to a big market?
5. Anthony Davis - 26.9 - shooting up the charts, finally healthy
6. Demarcus Cousins - 26.3 - is he worth the trouble?
7. Brook Lopez - 25.9 - out after just 17 games
8. Carmelo - 23.6 - why does everyone bag on 'Melo?
9. Lamarcus Aldridge - 23.4 - going to a new level with good young team
10. Dirk - 23.2 - healthy again, fading but only slowly
12. Paul George - 22.7
13. Steph Curry - 22.4 - so fun to watch
13. Blake Griffin - 22.4
17. Dwayne Wade - 22.0
18. Dwight Howard - 21.6
19. Russell Westbrook - 21.4
21. James Harden - 21.3
29. John Wall - 20.3 - starting to figure it out?
38. Kyrie Irving - 19.8 - a little disappointing
47. J.J. Redick - 18.7 - nice story

Okay, you are going to make me jump into this with some analysis on the value of Assist to Turnover vs the significance of rebounding and low post shooting percentages.
Anthony Davis, I loved him from the first game at KY and am glad to see that he feels free enough with the system to attack this year. I felt last year he was used in ways that restricted him. Something changed, maybe the coaching or maybe the older pros told him this summer to just become more active.
