STAT WRAP - NBL25 Round 10

Welcome to STAT WRAP, Melbourne United’s weekly round-up of all the key stats from our games. Take a look below at who shined on the court, and the trends leading the way throughout the team.

CG BUILDS ON UNSTOPPABLE RUN

From the opening minute on Sunday’s win over the Sydney Kings, it was clear that Chris Goulding was set to continue his unbelievable shooting form.

Goulding splashed his first shot of the game, a corner three, before ultimately knocking down six of his 10 looks from beyond the arc.

Across our four game winning streak, CG43 is averaging 28.5 points per game and 5.8 three-point makes per game, all while shooting the ball at 46% from deep.

In the process of his stellar performance, Goulding moved into equal fifth all-time for three-pointers made in NBL history, tying Lanard Copeland with 1,242.

DELLY DISHING DIMES

One of the engines of our offence across the past few seasons has been Matthew Dellavedova, who showcased once again his ability to get his teammates the ball on time and on target.

‘Delly’ finished the win over Sydney with nine assists; his fourth game with nine or more assists this season. He is only one of three players to have tallied nine or more assists four times in the league.

Dellavedova currently leads the league in assists per 36 minutes (9.8), and is doing so while sitting outside the top 15 on turnovers per page. 

WHITE MAKES MONSTER RETURN

Having missed our last game before the FIBA Break, Jack White returned with a bang on Sunday, tallying his league-best eighth double-double of the season and knocking down big shots.

After rising high for a pair of first-half dunks, White came up huge in the clutch, much like he did when we last met the Kings in Round 7, cashing in from deep down the stretch to help us secure our 11th win of the season.

Jack's got ya back.
