Eastern Conference competition
Here is a list of Dragic’s competition for a spot on the Eastern Conference All-Star team, and there stats from the 2015-16 season.
John Wall: 77 games; 19.9 points per game; 10.2 assists per game; 42.4 field goal percentage; 36.2 minutes per game; 28.6 usage rate (19th in league)
Kyle Lowry: 77 games; 21.2 points per game; 6.4 assists per game; 42.7 field goal percentage; 37 minutes per game; 26.1 usage rate (31st)
Kyrie Irving: 53 games; 19.6 points per game; 4.7 assists per game; 44.8 field goal percentage; 31.5 minutes per game; 29.5 usage rate (15th)
DeMar DeRozan: 78 games; 23.5 points per game; 4.0 assists per game; 44.6 field goal percentage; 35.9 minutes per game; 29.8 usage rate (11th)
Dwyane Wade: 74 games; 19 points per game; 4.6 assists per game; 45.6 field goal percentage; 30.5 minutes per game; 31.6 usage rate (Fifth)
Isaiah Thomas: 82 games; 22.2 points per game; 6.2 assists per game; 42.8 field goal percentage; 32.2 minutes per game; 29.6 usage rate (14th)
Goran Dragic: 72 games; 14.1 points per game; 5.8 assists per game; 47.7 field goal percentage; 32.8 minutes per game; 21.9 usage rate (73rd)
Aside from the most common statistical discrepancies (points, assists per game), the usage rate of his rivals also stands out. Dragic was significantly behind his fellow Eastern Conference point guards in these areas last season.
However, if Dragic can return to his breakout season form, his numbers will rise to those of the other elite guards in the East.
