Why “impossibly?” Well, let’s just say if Ferrell’s career goes the same way as the other names on the list he finds himself on right now, he and the Mavs would likely be the happiest people in sports.
Through his first 10 games in Dallas, Ferrell is averaging 15.5 points and 5.1 assists per 36 minutes on 45.0 percent shooting from the field, with a 59.6 true shooting percentage, a stat which takes into account 2- and 3-point shots and free throws.
A player’s per-36 numbers are a more accurate representation of his production. For example, there’s a difference between scoring 10 points in 10 minutes and 10 in 40, just like pulling down five rebounds in five minutes is more impressive than bringing in five in 20.
