Number that stands out there is 12 assists. Going along with 17 points which represents a more than solid effort.

Contributing 24 or more points through assists and 17 of his own is a bit better than a "decent" game. He needs to get these numbers, or something close more consistently but EP is certainly moving in that direction.

You're correct. Twelve assists is more than than the highest average per game. And it's almost double the tenth highest average.

Hopefully he continues that upward trend. Going to watch him at Smoothie King Center against the Pels tonight. Hopefully he does well but the Pelicans do better as a team.

Payton looks to be maturing on offense but good lord he is still terrible on defense

Terrible on defense? I thought that was the reason for him being a top 10 pick. Granted I don't watch the NBA, but has he regressed in that regard?

Stellar defense was why Elfrid Payton was 3rd runner up in Rookie of the Year voting.
