I asked statmuse to rank the top players in this year’s playoffs according to PER



https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/who-among-players-in-the-2023-nba-playoffs-had-the-highest-per-in-the-playoffs-that-played-at-least-25-mins-per-game

1. Jokic (duh)
2. Kawhi
3. Booker
4. Butler
5. Edwards
6. AD
7. Tatum
8. Murray
9. Brunson
10. LeBron

Just goes to show that JB performed at a superstar level where it matters the most in the playoffs.

Edit: to explain why I initially included Kawhi who only played 2 games and not have a higher filter for # of games played. If I filtered it to at least 10 games, we’d get more role/rotation players on the list, as you’d automatically excluded teams that got eliminated in the 1st round and potentially 2nd round. But I guess Kawhi is an outlier and I should have excluded him since 2 games was too few a number.

    I love this, but you should tailor the terms to be players who played at least 10 games. For example Kawhi only played two games this entire playoff run, he shouldn’t be considered a top performer

    Edwards is the guy that I want the most on this team. Obvi TWolves won’t trade him, but his mentality and skillset is exactly what we need

    Cool but we need one more of these high PER playoff guys to have a contender.

    settles the argument on who’s better. Brunson > Lebron. I knew it

  5. SimpatheticNS

    Now Post Randle’s PER for the Randle truthers

    So basically it’s Butler, Booker, Jokic

    Man that’s why I was so surprised Mark Cuban didn’t give him the bag he deserved. When I was watching those Mavs games on YouTube when he was having his playoff performances he really stepped up when it mattered most, IN THE PLAYOFFS even when your star PG was hurt and even still doing good along side Luka it just made no sense to let him go or not see what he brought to the table. Mavs didn’t believe……. THE KNICKS DID!! *DJ Khalid voice*

    They only want you to “tailor to 10 games” cause they think RJ will be on it and then they can post about how awesome Rj is
