I was surprised VJ wasn’t on here but that’s because he’s almost at 100 steals but only 35 blocks
His blocks are loud though.
That’s true, the more crucial the possession the more likely he is to fly out of fucking nowhere.
He has 94 steals which is 11 more than the next closest rookie. Only one other rookie even has 80.
He’s up there with Flagg and Queen if you combine them, aka stocks.
Queen 136 stocks Flagg 131 stocks VJ 94 + 36 = 130
Honerable mention to CMB with 46 steals, 48 blocks for 94 stocks while playing only minimal minutes for only 50 games. He leaves everyone in the dust counting these 2 stats in PER 36
VJ and Flagg were only ones in college last year with stat like this as freshmen + dunks
Good job. You have more blocks than second year Reed Sheppard.

You’ve got it backwards, Bailey has 56 steals and 44 blocks. I also wouldn’t call it probable he gets there since based on his season averages he is going to miss it. He’s averaging 0.7 blocks per game rounding up and with 7 games remaining so on pace for 4.9 rounding it to give him 5 only puts him on pace for 49 blocks.
You really need to check numbers before posting, hes gotten 7 blocks in his last 4 games not 12. In his last 5 he had 12 which included a career high game, using an outlier in an average never gives an accurate representation no matter the subject.
This is maybe the silliest argument I’ve ever seen on this subreddit
Not silly bro…Ace Bailey’s race-to-fifty block campaign is in full swing and this shit is serious. Eyes glued on Jazz games to close the season to see if the youngster pulls through
Polymarket addicts be like
I thought CMB would be one before I opened this. He’s 4 steals and 2 blocks away
In only 50 games at 22mpg. He would’ve hit this in like 36 games if he was getting starter minutes.
he did start a ton when poeltl didnt play for basically 2 months, problem is since the ASB he has been hurt/not playing a ton
I’m surprised CMB isn’t here
Its because of games played. Hes missed a lot of time this season
46 steals and 48 blocks this season, so he’s pretty close
Insane considering he’s only played 50 games at 22mpg. Per 36 he’s averaging 1.6 blocks and 1.5 steals.
Yaaaaas queen!
Wemby has crossed this mark for the third time in a row since entering the league.
Potential defensive GOAT is good at defense who would have guessed.
More NBA players should play chess. All the chess he plays defo helped him see plays unfold before they happened, so he could anticipate and defend them hard.
Wait till he plays WoW, he would be winning chips and MVPs like Tim Duncan.
Everyone knows that overwatch has the most offensive translation to the NBA, that’s why Luka is so good at scoring.
Least pretentious spurs fan^
