3 AWESOME Wizard stats that you probably didn't know about

3 AWESOME Wizard stats that you probably did not know about...

As the trade deadline looms and we await to see what this team will look like by the end of the week, we thought it was a good opportunity to highlight some awesome team and player stats that this current roster has achieved first half of the season. Enjoy!

73.7% True Shooting Percentage

We all know Daniel Gafford is efficient but did you know he leads the league in True Shooting Percentage at 73.7%. True shooting percentage is essentially a formula that calculates the average of all shots taken including free throws and threes.

To add to "The Landlord's" resume he leads the league in restricted area FG% at 83.1%.

85.7% Line-up Field Goal Percentage

We all have our opinions on who our favorite line up is for the Wizards. However... did you know that the 5-man line-up with the highest FG% in the NBA at 85.7% is from our beloved Wizards. That line-up includes...

• KP

• Kuzma

• Monte Morris

• Goodwin

• Kispert

72.2% Restricted Area Field Goal Percentage

Finally, when you add up all Gafford's dunks, Kispert's successful cuts to the rim and Kuzma's drives, the Wizard's rank 1ST in the league in restricted area FG% at 72.2%.

It is nice to be the best a few things.

Here a few more stats to shout out:

• Kristaps Porzingas ranks 15th in the NBA in FTA (free throw attempts) and is shooting 83.4%.

• Wizards rank 6th in the league in blocks averaging 5.1 BLKs per game.

• Delon Wright is averaging 2.0 steals per game which would place him 3rd in the NBA after Jimmy Butler and OG Anunoby but because he has not played 70% of games due to injury he does not qualify yet.

Last Game Recap

Wizards 118 * 104 Hornets (Wednesday)

A much better performance from the Wizards than Monday (granted against a much worst team but we'll take it). Good to have Beal back + Deni had a good 20 point game but the real story was Porzingas who ended 36 points, 8 threes & 2 blocks.

Wizards shot 57% from the field and had 12 blocks. Turnovers remain and issue with the Wiz after the gave the ball up 16 times.

It took a bit longer than we would have wanted for the Wizards to put this game away but they got the job done in the 3rd quarter, building a 12 point lead and maintaining it until the end.
