🔥 NBN Player of the Week: Fat Lever Is Absolutely UNSTOPPABLE 🔥

Look, we've seen some ridiculous stat lines this season in the NBN, but what Fat Lever is doing right now deserves its own highlight reel. The New Orleans Pelicans guard is averaging a mind-boggling 31.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game while shooting a buttery 48.1% from the field. That's not just good—it's "check the calendar, is this 1987?" good.

The Numbers Don't Lie (And They Absolutely SLAM)

Let's put this in perspective. The league average is a measly 9.05 PPG. Fat Lever is putting up THREE AND A HALF TIMES that. Every. Single. Night. His 31.6 points per game puts him nearly FIVE full points ahead of the second-place scorer, Nate "Tiny" Archibald (31.2 PPG). That's not a small gap—that's a canyon.

But it's not just the scoring that makes Lever special. The man is pulling down 6.2 rebounds per game from the guard position. For reference, that's more than some centers in this league. He's crashing the glass like he owes the rim money, creating second-chance opportunities that keep opposing defenses up at night.

Efficiency? He's Got That Too

With a True Shooting percentage of 0.591, Lever isn't just chucking—he's finishing at an elite rate. That TS% leads all top-five scorers and shows a player who understands the game beyond just getting buckets. He's scoring efficiently, which means he's doing it the RIGHT way.

Pelicans Rising

New Orleans has been one of the more competitive squads in the NBN this season, and Lever is the engine driving that train. When you have a closer who can score from anywhere, rebound like a big, AND make plays for teammates, your team's ceiling rises dramatically. The Pelicans aren't just competing—they're a legitimate threat.

Who Does He Remind You Of?

If you squint at the stat sheet, you see flashes of Lenny Wilkens—another elite playmaker who could score when needed. But really, Fat Lever is carving out his own identity. He's got the scoring instincts of an elite iso player but the basketball IQ to involve his teammates. Think of him as the perfect hybrid—a scoring guard who hasn't forgotten how to make others better.

What's Next?

Here's the thing about Fat Lever: he doesn't look satisfied. That 31.6 PPG could easily climb higher if he gets more touches in crunch time. The Pelicans' remaining schedule features some teams with shaky perimeter defense, and if Lever smells blood in the water, he goes for the throat.

My prediction? Watch for Lever to push toward 32+ PPG by season's end. He's in the zone, he's confident, and he's got the talent to back it up every single night.

Fat Lever isn't just Player of the Week—he's making a case for Player of the YEAR. Buckle up, NBN fans. This ride is just getting started.
