NIHOF NBA CUP Standings: Update 10, Feb 8

If you are a regular visitor at Notinhalloffame.com, you know that we created the Notinhalloffame NBA Cup, where in every regular season game, we award points (5-4-3-2-1) to the top five performers.  This is the fourth year that we have done this, and Denver’s Nikola Jokic winning the first two, and Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers winning last year. To keep everyone regularly in the loop this time, we have decided to give regular updates, starting at Thanksgiving.  We will update this every Wednesday. Here is the current top ten: 1. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City Thunder, 208 Cup Points:  50 Games, 4.16 Cup Points Per Game, 31.1 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 6.6 APG, 2.2 SPG, 0.9 BPG, 30.7 PER, 10.8 WS.  Last Week #2. Gilgeous-Alexander broke through to the upper-tier last season, and he is proving that this was no fluke.  Taking over as the league-leader in Cup Points, He is leading the NBA in Steals per Game (2.2), Steals (112), Points (1,594) Free Throws (403), and Win Shares (10.8).  SGA is also second in VORP (5.3), third in Points per Game (31.1), PER (30.7), and Box Plus/Minus (10.3) and is fourth in Points per Game (31.1).  The Canadian is now an MVP contender, and could join Steve Nash in that exclusive club.  Even if he doesn’t this year, SGA added his first Player of the Month Award in December. 2. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks, 206 Cup Points:  49 Games, 4.20 Cup Points per Game, 31.3 PPG, 11.3 RPG, 6.3 APG, 1.4 SPG, 1.1 BPG, 29.5 PER, 8.5 WS.  Last Week, #3. The two-time MVP has never had a better supporting cast than he does now, and he is responding by doing what he always does: dominate.  Antetokounmpo, however has slightly less metrics than previous years, but the arrival of Damian Lillard means he does not have to always carry the load.  The December Eastern Conference Player of the Month is second in Points per Game (31.3), fifth in Rebounds per Game (11.3), and is the league-leader in Field Goals (574).  3. Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets, 201 Cup Points, 49 Games, 4.10 Cup Points per Game, 26.3, PPG, 12.2 RPG, 9.0 APG, 1.2 SPG, 0.9 BPG, 32.0 PER, 10.6 WS.  Last Week, #1. Last year, Jokic became an NBA Champion and a Finals MVP and shook off what some may have perceived as an MVP snub, however, he has fallen…
