STAT WRAP - NBL25 Round 11

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.

LOE LOOMING LARGE

Rob Loe's last six games have been amongst the best scoring runs of his near 200-game career in the NBL.

The Kiwi big-man averaged 22 points across his two Round 11 outings, and has averaged 18.8 points per game since Round 8.

This is the highest average of any centers in the competition over the same stretch.

BALL MOVEMENT CREATING OPPORTUNITIES

Despite splitting our pair of games in Round 11, we were able to continue our six-game streak of 20-plus assist games.

Led by Matthew Dellavedova and Shea Ili, who rank second and fifth in assists per game in NBL25 respectively, we tallied 27 assists against the Breakers and 24 assists against the Bullets.

There have been 17 games where teams have recorded at least 24 assists this season, eight of which have been by us. We hold a 7-1 record in such games.

WHITE CONTINUES DOUBLE-DOUBLE STREAK

Since returning to the NBL, Jack White has showcased the skills that saw him win an NBA championship with the Denver Nuggets.

In his 16 games, White has tallied a league-high 10 double-doubles, while averaging a career-high in points and rebounds.

Sunday’s loss to the Bullets was his third-straight double-double, and marked his seventh double-double in his past nine games.
