Jimmy Butler Jr on the prow

Playing hard is a skill. I don’t like the sixers but can’t help being a Maxey and VJ fan.

pure athlete, dude is a hunter out there

A guy this talented and skilled with that type of motor is going to be a problem for a long time.

I hate that sixers got this guy. But I like Maxey, and him with VJ is such a sick pairing.

I want to thank Ace Bailey’s previous agent.

Genuine question, what is actually meant by “loose balls recovered”? If you tip a pass away from the other team but then get it, that’s usually a steal. If someone else on your team tips a pass away and you get it, that’s either a steal for you or the teammate who tips it. If a ball goes off the rim long but you recover the ball, that’s usually a rebound. So what does a loose ball recovered actually mean? Can a steal/rebound also count as a loose ball recovered or are they only counted as a steal/rebound or a loose ball recovered? The NBA website doesn’t define the stat. I suppose getting the ball of a jump ball could be considered a loose ball.

That’s a pretty good indication of his motor. Considering the comparison is to Josh Hart, the guy that I fully believe would dive into an active volcano to save a loose ball late game.

Edit: I don’t know why it’s ranking the list when players should be tied. If someone can figure it out plz lmk

Reddit has an obnoxious feature where it automatically orders numbered lists. So if you put

17,
7,
5,

but with periods instead of commas, then it’ll show up as

2. 3.

…………… by a mile. 1.1-1.4

I feel like there’s a lotta stats out there where it’s like, the gap between 1 and 2 is the gap between 2 and some number much larger than 3.

VJ is gonna be in HOF

John Konchar leads the NBA in loose balls recovered by a mile. The difference between him and 2nd (Kevin Love) is equal to the difference between 2nd and 39th

Stats are per 36 minutes (minimum 10 gp).

Unfortunately being a well rounded player with veteran poise is not enough to win ROTY

the link you posted though shows Obi Toppin at no. 1 with 1.7?

Damn Austin being up there is quite impressive considering he’s not exactly a great athlete. He definitely puts in the effort though.

I love VJ Edgecombe so much as a rookie because of how much of a hustle machine he is. Even when his shot isnt falling (and sometimes it isnt because he’s still a rookie) he still provides a lot of value to the team because he’s constantly hustling on both ends of the floor to cover his man, get rebounds, create turnovers, and corral loose balls. He’s the definition of a winning player because he does all of the “dirty work” really well and with a smile on his face.

So he maybe gets two a game sometimes? That’s not really leading by a mile lol
