This was definitely the year of the Guard with the top 2 foulers being Beverely and Westbrook. Also, it seems liked scoring was up with 7 foulers not only breaking 2000 points but the top 3 breaking 2400 points which I don't believe has ever happened. Also, there were a lot of foul outs this year with top 9 having 6 or more where the top 3 finishers last year had 6.
I was able to catch up with the GM for Pgastan FC during the awards banquet tonight for an interview so check back in a few days as he reflects on his most recent championship and talks analytics.
Well that's it for now.
Keep Foulin' Y'all!
