So, I was sitting here doing what I do on any given Friday evening - ruminating on how many points Jack White scores per minute. It seems like every time Jack gets in the game, he scores a bucket or two - and quickly.

So, I decided to calculate the PPM on this young season (10 games, through 12/09/2016), and see how wrong I was.

Yep. I was wrong. Although Jack is higher on the list than some might think.

Who do you think leads the team in PPM so far this season? (No minimum minutes played)

Think about it and make a guess before you click 'show', and see how right (wrong?) you are.
