Heat PG Kendrick Nunn has third most points to start career in last 25 years

Undrafted point guard Kendrick Nunn has begun his Miami Heat career on a record pace, scoring more points in his first five games than anyone but Kevin Durant and Jerry Stackhouse in the last 25 years.

His 28 point performance against the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday night pushed his points total to 112, six more points than LeBron James had through five games when he took his talents to South Beach.

Despite going undrafted, Nunn has outperformed the last 26 No. 1 picks in points -- trailing only Shaquille O'Neal, Elvin Hayes, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and David Robinson through their first five career games.
