Big (Man) Love, 2021-22 season

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Don't see Myles Turner anywhere in here

Mileage obviously varies, but I don't consider Myles Turner to be a Top Tier Big Man™, so he doesn't get automatic inclusion in the nightly listing. Turner would only make it as an Honorable Mention.

1/8 Big Man update:

(BMOtN) Domatas Sabonis: 42/6/3/1/1 versus Jazz
Julius Randle: 13/12/6/1/0 [6 to] versus Celtics
DeAndre Ayton: 12/8/1/0/1 versus Heat


I mean, I guess it's Sabonis? Forty-two points is certainly nothing to sneeze at. Still... six rebounds in thirty-eight minutes, though?

Honorable Mention
(BMOtN) Jaren Jackson, Jr.: 21/12/1/1/6 versus lakers

I think the stat line with Jokic is wrong. 22/18/6/1/0 which is better than JJ

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I think the stat line with Jokic is wrong. 22/18/6/1/0 which is better than JJ

You are correct about the accuracy of the statline. Better, however, is relative. Jackson Jr. keeps the award, on account of:

1. Six blocks
2. Better quality of opposition.

Domatas Sabonis: 11/23/10/1/0 versus Celtics
Julius Randle: 2/12/3/0/1 versus Spurs
Joel Embiid: 31/8/6/1/2 versus Rockets
Christian Wood: 14/6/2/1/0 versus 76ers
(BMOtN) Jarrett Allen: 18/17/1/1/2 versus Kings



Honorable Mention
Hassan Whiteside: 21/14/1/2/3 versus Pistons


Giving it to Afro Thunder over the Process, on account of:

1. My personal bias in favor of rebounds over points, and
2. 76ers were rested, playing a team on the second night of a back-to-back. Cavaliers were on the second night of a B2B, themselves.

It's a hell of a night, when you can put up 50/12, and not be the clear-cut Big Man of the Night. I'm gonna give it to the Joker, by virtue of quality of opposition.
