WWW - 2025 Pickle Report Week 13
It was an unlucky week 13 for Ja Morant after going down with an elbow injury in his first game of the week. They say he will be evaluated in 3 weeks, but the hope is that the frequently wounded former MIP winning point guard can find a home with another team. With this latest injury we may have to wait for the offseason for the exciting conclusion to the Morant in Tennessee saga. This week we saw some fantastic performances around the league lets see who impressed:
-
Bam Adebayo put together the rare offensive showing hitting 11! 3s and 109 points alongside 51 rebounds. He's been on an absolute rip from 3 the last few weeks, helping boost his generally weak offensive production
-
Jusuf Nurkić has reasserted himself as a rock distribution system leading the league with 41 assists for the week and pulling in an additional 70 points and 48 rebounds. Considering he was unrosterable a few months ago this could be a great window for the veteran center.
-
Dylan Cardwell has decleared himself with a 10 block 5 steal week with 37 rebounds without requiring large amounts of playtime.
-
SGA continues to be the leading scorer in the NBA but has seen a pretty significant dip in his 3 pointers, rebounds and steal rate. These marginal drops have taken still have been offset by scoring 32 per game and career high effeciency keeping him a clear top 3 pick.
The Toronto Raptors are on a 5 game winning streak. Scottie, Ingram and Mamukelashvili all put forward top 75 performances this week but those are not the raptor we seek this week. This guard quickly started the week with a 40 point performance and kept running with incredible peripherals, 4 3s, 7 boards, 7 dimes 2 steals, while keeping it under 2 turnovers. This weeks bread and butter pick of the week is none other than Immanuel Quickley who after a sluggish start to the season have been absolutely huge in the raptors success.
