    Agreed about random stat posts.

    But, there's a reason to pick the big name players. These guys are usually the go-to guy during clutch situations. And they are usually the focus of opposing defense in the clutch. So it should be expected that their clutch efficiency is lower than normal efficiency. And the non-go-to players might have higher efficiency because they shoot more open shots.

    These are very high quality shots. They shot 70% on those 3s. Unbelievable. This is sengun clogging the paint, lol.

    20. Houston Rockets
    Last week: 20

    There might be no ceiling on Alperen Şengün. Şengün followed up a 45-point, 16-rebound effort with a 23-point, 19-rebound, 14-assist outburst against the Clippers the next night. Şengün is confident, wildly talented and when he develops a three-point shot—and believe me, at 21, it’s coming—he has Jokić-like potential.

    Never forget that Stephen Silas started Bruno Fernando over Alperen Sengun. He was paid millions of dollars to do so.

    Never forget

    of course the twitter world is based on attention, but saying he is 100th in clutch efficiency is also misleading. As you said you need to look at a comparable population. Sengun has 103 minutes of clutch time. Among 41 players with 90 minutes or more clutch time:

    14th in fg%
    5th in fta
    40th in ft%
    8th in steals

    Yes and no

    Efficiency(TS%) of some higher usage guys in “clutch” situations this season

    https://www.nba.com/stats/players/clutch-advanced?dir=A&sort=TS_PCT

    Curry : 70.3
    Embiid : 59.9
    Mitchell : 61.9
    Jokic : 67.5
    Rozier : 67.9
    Young : 62.3
    James : 62.6
    Simons : 69.7
    Derozan : 64.6
    JJJ : 57.2
    Lillard : 64.4
    Brunson : 57.2
    Doncic : 61.7
    SGA : 69.3
    Irving : 73.9
    Haliburton : 83.3
    Booker : 59.8
    Randle : 64.4
    Giannis : 67.0
    Davis : 64.4
    George : 73.2

    The list really does go on for quite a bit. It was a fairly misleading tweet to isolate a few truly great players who have struggled in the clutch this season and say Alpy is better than them in those scenarios. The reality is he hasn’t been that great(efficiency wise)in the clutch for the season. Which is fine, again I’m not here to hate on Sengun, just the misleading tweet.

    Question: What do the top three players have in common?
    Hint: Starts with an M and ends with a P.
