Average Points Per 48 Minutes Played Considering the limited minutes Ming is playing, I found it quite suprising that he's avering only 3 points less than Francis per 48 minutes played. NBA Stats: Average points per 48 minutes #15, Steve Francis, 27.4 points per 48 minutes #41, Yao Ming, 24.1 points per 48 minutes Just think, if Yao can get off his horrible shooting slump, which is now at a dismal 59%, he might be averaging the same as Francis
