Assessing the Sustainability of Isaiah Thomas’ Offensive Output

We are just about halfway through the 2016-2017 season, and Isaiah Thomas has been unstoppable on the offensive end of the floor throughout. He’s averaging a career high 28.9 points per game. A mark that is third in the league, and represent s 27 percent of the Boston Celtics seventh ranked offensive. Factor in his 6.3 assists per contest, and Thomas is responsible for an average of 44.2 points every time he plays.

That’s a ludicrous level of offensive output, and he’s not posting numbers purely on volume either. His total shots are up, so quantity isn’t a nonfactor in his bump in per game scoring, but Thomas’ efficiency numbers haven’t dipped a bit, and that’s really what’s been most remarkable.
