In each of their last seasons playing together, Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray combined for 170.8 touches per game; Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant combined for 153.2 touches per game; and LeBron James and Russell Westbrook combined for 166.3 touches per game. Expand that last duo to include Anthony Davis and that number comes out to 235.1 touches soaked up by the Los Angeles Lakers stars.
The amount of touches that the LA Clippers’ two superstars, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, registered in their last season together? 128.4. That’s almost 25% lower than Jokic and Murray, more than 18% lower than Irving and Durant, and almost 45% lower than the Lakers’ trio.
