2025-2026 Midseason Donkies!

As I said on my February post a week ago, we were approaching the Donk-Star break and that could only mean one thing. The Midseason Donkies are back! So let's gt to the awards and see what foulers are leading the pack at this point in the season.

The Dennis Rodman Award (Most Ejections) 

We have a 4-way tie! Jalen Duren, Isaiah Stewart, Draymond Green, and Kris Dunn have 2 ejections each.

6th Man Award (Highest Point total for a fouler who went undrafted): Jabari Smith Jr. with 1235 points (131-3-6-0-2)

Midseason Most Valuable Fouler (MVF): Dillon Brooks with 2005 points (165-2-16-1-4)

 

This is crazy, Dillon Brooks has already cracked the 2000 point threshold at the Donk-Star Break. usually it's something you don't see broken until late March or early April when the season is winding down. In fact, we've had multiple seasons where no fouler cracks 2000 points by the end of the full-season, so this is very impressive. DeMarcus Cousins holds the all-time single season scoring record with 3120 points in the 2010-11 season. We'll see if Brooks can become only the 2nd fouler to crack 3000 points in a season. 

 

Well that's it for now. Check back next month for the March analysis post to see where things stand.

 

Keep Foulin' Y'all!
