The Delightful Dončić

This will make Luka Dončić’s second All-Star appearance in the two years he’s been in the NBA, not a bad way to start a career. Luka is having a blockbuster year and has taken the spotlight since the 2019-2020 season began.

He’s averaging 29.1 points per game, but the really amazing stats are the 9.6 rebounds, and the 8.9 assists he’s dishing out. These are incredible numbers for a small forward, not to mention a second-year player.

A Salute To Melo

Carmelo Anthony currently holds the #7 spot in the Western Conference Frontcourt after returning to the NBA this season. Melo joined the struggling Blazers and has given them solid minutes so far. Early voting shows him, and teammate Damian Lillard (#3 In Backcourt Voting) could be heading to Chicago this February.

Since his return, Anthony has put up excellent numbers in the limited minutes he’s played. Averaging 16 points and six rebounds per game, he’s definitely contributed to the injury-ridden Blazers. If the Blazers can get healthy again, things could change quickly in the Western Conference.
