WWW - 2024 Pickle Report Week 10
Some big dills around the league this week:
-
with the conclusion of the Jimmy Butler era in Miami, there is a big role to be filled in the heats starting 5, is Nikola Jovic ready to step bigger role having eclipse with the lack of front court players or could we see Kel'el Ware step into a rim protecting role? Where will jimmy end up? This could be an opportunity for the Suns to get even older!
-
Wussell Restbrook is showing signs of life again seeing a large uptick in both steals and assists, reinforced by a 64% from the field. The secret to this was setting what is at least a season best he only missed 6 3s this week.
-
CJ has been red hot from deep, hitting 19 3-pointers on only 35 attempts.
-
Jamal Murray had a great bounce back week, going 11/11 from the line and grabbing 9 steals.
-
Derrick White tied with Wemby for most blocks on the week at 11, the fack he is a 6'4" is what makes this most impressive, 2nd highest blocks for a guard was SGA with 5.
-
At this point I need to start excluding Jokic from player comparisons, he lead the league in scoring and assists again, and came in 2nd on rebounds. He also went 24/27 on free throws and hit 10 3s.
I've been waiting for this moment for the last 3 years, a previous ironman dethroned after getting the longest covid, getting hit by a bus and having multiple season ending injuries it's finally time. The big kat in manhattan strung together an amazing 4 games, featuring 4 massive double doubles, one with 44/16, and two with over 20 rebounds. Thats not to mention he has some all time great facial expressions and a truly impressive 72/1 rebound:block ratio. For his commitment to displaying all the emotions of the game, we are honored to proclaim Karl-Anthony Towns the week 10 bread and butter pick of the week.
