NBA Fast Break Historic | Run 3 | Day 3
Today’s Objective(s): 3 Blocks & 5 Steals
Overview:
Day 2 of this Historic NBA Fast Break run concluded with 55% of participants earning a win. Three pointers made and assists were the objectives and there were some players who struggled more than anticipated.
Kemba Walker, for example, had five assists, but went an abysmal 1 for 9 from outside. As he was the most utilized player (61%), this set many collectors back meaningfully. Jason Kidd was the second most utilized player and had a big day in the assists department (9), but could not make a single three pointer. Depending on who set you back the most, either could be deemed the Fast Break Dud of the Day.
On the other hand, John Wall had the most all around effort of the top five as he contributed six assists along with two three pointers made. With his performance, he earned the Fast Break Stud of the Day award.
In our data set below, we have incorporated an average of the two days from this run, but we’ve also pulled in the top 10 players from Run 2 to set the baseline. There are plenty of players who can get you a little of both objectives, so you should get over the low thresholds…but it could also be a trap day if you’re not careful.
