Wizards were 1 of 5 teams with two 20 plus point scorers last year - But this year, there will be a lot more

This is just another interesting way of looking at the league and who are the best teams.

What's interesting is that SAS isn't listed. KL is elite and they play total team ball around him. Impressive.
25.5 ppg on TS 61% and elite defense. But there 2nd highest scorer is LMA at just 17.3 ppg

I had to add KL in at the end of my writing because SAS didn't have 2 players, but his numbers and style are damn near what we need from Wall regarding defense and scoring efficiency, only Wall playing the 1 and 2. KL is already there and he is one year younger. To bad Wall is such a late bloomer and didn't have better coaching around him earlier. All those long 2s for so many years when he should have been working more on 3s.

Anyway, here it is.

We had two of top 20 plus pts scorers tied for 18th.

Wall 23.1 18th on 18.4 FGA - TS 54.1%
Beal 23.1 18th on 17.2 FGA - TS 60.4%

There were only 4 other teams with 2x 20 pts scorers and one of them had 3x

GS
Curry 25.3 10th on 18.3 FGA - TS 62.4%
KD 25.1 12th on 16.5 FGA - TS 65.1%
Klay 22.3 24th on 17.6 FGA - TS 59.2%

CLE
LB 26.3 pts 8th on 18.2 FGA - TS 61.9%
Kyrie 25.2 11th on 19.7 FGA - TS 58%
Love will replace Kyrie as a 20 pts scorer

TOR
DRoz 27.3 5th on 20.9 FGA - TS 55.2%
Low 22.4 22nd on 15.3 FGA - TS 62.3%

MIN
KAT 25.1 12th on 18 FGA - TS 61.8%
WIG 23.6 16th on 19.1 FGA TS 53.4%
Plus now Jimmy B 23.9 pts TS 58.6%


And now OKC has 3x 20 pts scorers

OKC
Westbrook 30 pts TS 55.4
Paul George 23.7 pts TS 58.7%
Melo 22.4 pts TS 53% but he has been higher 56% before

GS had two top 25 pts players and both of TS 62% or higher and their 3rd is just .8 away from 60%

OKC
just added PG and now Melo so they have 3x 20 pts scorers

MIN just added Jimmy B, Teague and Taj and Wiggins is only 22 and hasn't yet learned not to shoot 25% of his shots as 16ft to less then 3. So with Jimmy, does MIN has 3x 20 plus scorers now ?

CLE had two top 25 pts players and one was LeBron. Love was 19pts last year. He will eat up the additional touches and be a 20 pt player next year. TS 57.3%

Boston just added two of them.
Kyrie 25.2 11th on 19.7 FGA - TS 58%
GH 21.9 26th on 15.8 FGA - TS 59.5%


Houston
Added CP3 who could become a 20 pt scorer. He is a career 18.7 per game.

So we are in the hunt but there are up and coming teams out there. CLE is still the team to beat in the East and might add Wade later in the year for the playoffs. BOS should still be solid.Kyrie, Hayward, Horford plus some talented young talent. TOR could be a problem if DRoz finds a 3 ball.

The West is stacked with GSW and now I think OKC at the top.
