Marcin Gortat may be in the twilight of his career. But he is still very effective in his own way. Through the first round of the playoffs, Gortat is averaging 7.4 screen assists per game, one more per game than Clint Capela, who is second place as of games played through April 26.
In Wednesday’s Game 5 loss, Gortat had 10 screen assists, which are plays when one of his screens leads to a basket by a teammate. Since he scored 10 points and grabbed 12 rebounds last night, he had an advanced and traditional stats triple double.
