The data that shows the historical greatness of Nickeil Alexander-Walker

Efficiency personified in a basketball player. That's the only way to define what Nickeil Walker-Alexander is doing this season with the Atlanta Hawks. His value as a sixth man had been proven for years, but he has elevated his game to a higher status in a competitive ecosystem that benefits his play, and he is nourishing it with all his virtues.

It must run in the family. Nickeil Alexander-Walker, cousin of Shai, shows decision-making skills as exquisite as, if not more than, the best player of the moment. Evidence of this is that since the All-Star break, he has been shooting field goals with an efficiency of 70.2%, surpassing players who limit their shots close to the rim, like Duren or Zion, and other great stars of the league. If we focus on the analysis of March alone, the percentage rises to 74%, averaging 23.3 points in 11 games.

His good form and confidence largely explain the rise in the standings of the Atlanta Hawks who aim to make some historical upsets in the playoffs. With Jalen Johnson and NAW performing at their current level, the top favorites in the Eastern Conference would do well not to relax even a bit if they find themselves facing them in the postseason. It will be interesting to see how long Nickeil Alexander-Walker can maintain this level of efficiency.
