This is kind of random, but Draymond Green is the first player to record 1000/500/500/100/100 in one season since blocks/steals started being recorded. Also, no team has ever gone undefeated at home, but this season, we could have two teams (Warriors/Spurs) who may break that record.
Some playoff stats. These are naturally heavily influenced by who you play / strategies / etc. Sample sizes aren't large for the playoffs but they are still interesting to look at. I chose random minimums to filter out players who haven't played much. Draymond Green has contested the most shots per game. Paul Millsap is second and Al Horford is 3rd. Draymond Green is also #4 in charges drawn per game. Paul George is #1 in charges drawn per game. Also, he is #2 in deflections, and #1 in loose balls recovered. He would be #1 in all three categories if it weren't for Trevor Ariza, who is #1 in deflections. Catch And Shoots: (min: 3 attempts per game) Klay Thompson scores the most ppg at 13.1 on 75.2 eFG%. Kevin Love scores the second most ppg at 10.4 on 64.8 eFG%. Harrison Barnes shoots the worst eFG% at 32.4%. Jae Crowder is second at 34.6%. Pick And Roll: Westbrook is the worst pick and roll ball handler, producing only 0.59 PPP. CJ McCollum is the second worst at 0.64 PPP. Joe Johnson is next at 0.67 PPP. Surprisingly, LeBron is 4th at 0.68 PPP. On the other hand, Kawhi is #1 at 1.13 PPP. Paul George is #2 at 1.10 PPP. Kyrie Irving is #3 at 1.08 PPP. Isolations (min: 15 attempts) Harden is #1 at 1.16 PPP. Westbrook is #2 at 1.07 PPP. 3rd is...CJ McCollum at 1.06 PPP. On the other hand, DeRozan is the worst at 0.55 PPP. Kawhi is second at 0.62 PPP. LeBron is 3rd is at 0.68 PPP. Pick And Roll Defense: Dion Waiters is the worst at 1.09 ppp. CJ McCollum is the second worst. Kevin Durant is 3rd. On the other hand, Danny Green is the best. Kawhi Leonard is second. Rodney Stuckey is 3rd.
Mike Conley set his career highs in ppg, rpg, fg%, and 3p%. Still very underrated...despite his contract lol.
Greek Freak ended up being the first player to finish a season in the top 20 for total points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks.
