About this Board
On Monday, October 19, 1 player took on NBA Deep Cut #26: “Name a player who averaged 20+ points in a season for the Los Angeles Clippers (58+ games with them).” The prompt had 20 valid answers, and players found 2 of them. Correct answers score more the fewer people name them, so the deepest cuts are the ones worth the most.
Answers and recap (spoilers)
The most popular answer was Kawhi Leonard, named by 100% of players. The rarest correct answer anyone found was Paul George (1 player, 33 points). Nobody found the day's Sleeper: Norman Powell.
