San Antonio Spurs Top Performers:
De’Aaron Fox 24 PTS | 13 AST | 3 STL | 57.5 FPS
Fox has adapted smoothly to his new team, recording his fourth 20+ point, 10+ assist game of the season. His performance today suggests that he’s able to elevate his scoring while sustaining his playmaking excellence, despite starting at the 2 spot.
Victor Wembanyama 24 PTS | 12 REB | 1 BLK | 43.4 FPS
Wemby shook off a slow first half to notch his seventh-straight game with 20+ points and 10+ rebounds. While he’s a dependable contributor, his struggles from the free-throw line and from deep are becoming an issue.
Devin Vassell 20 PTS | 4 AST | 4 STL | 40.6 FPS
Vassell has seen a struggle offensively lately, but the arrival of Fox might just be the key to unlocking his full potential. Fox’s presence has already shown positive results, helping him break out of his slump and improve his impact in other areas.
Julian Champagnie 5 PTS | 3 REB | 5 STL | 28.6 FPS
Champagnie hadn’t made a major impact leading up to this game, but he’s quietly contributed across multiple categories over his last five outings.
Jeremy Sochan 15 PTS | 7-8 FG | 4 REB | 24.8 FPS
Sochan is getting back to his form, dropping solid scoring and decent productions in other areas in his last two games.
Atlanta Hawks Top Performers:
Onyeka Okongwu 30 PTS | 13-16 FG | 12 REB | 53.9 FPS
OO has been a decent contributor in recent weeks but his significant role alone is more than enough to make him an ideal something he showed today with a standout offensive performance. He’s also becoming an increasingly valuable long-term piece with his growing all-around game.
Trae Young 32 PTS | 12 AST | 9 TO | 46.4 FPS
Young’s offensive outburst continues, with consistent 30+point games, better-shooting percentages, and his usual sharp playmaking in his last three games. But all that brilliance is dimmed with his alarming turnovers.
De’Andre Hunter 22 PTS | 10 REB | 5 AST | 44.5 FPS
Hunter has been impressive from the field and from three recently, scoring 20+ points in his last two games. His all-around impact was also very evident today, but consistency has always been an issue for him.
Dyson Daniels 19 PTS | 8 REB | 7 AST | 43.1 FPS
Daniels has been reliable in offense lately although his free throw shooting remains a weakness. He’s emerged as a triple-double threat in his last two games, all while continuing to post elite defensive numbers.
Dominick Barlow 5 PTS | 3 REB | 3 BLK | 17.6 FPS
Barlow has been a reliable contributor for blocks lately even with very limited minutes.
Biggest Disappointment of the Game:
Zaccharie Risacher 6 PTS | 0-3 3PT | 1 REB
Risacher hit a major setback today after a promising run in his last three games.
