The data that shows the historical greatness of Nickeil Alexander-Walker
The Hawks' shooting guard is posting absolutely astonishing NBA-level efficiency statistics.
Efficiency embodied in a basketball player. That's the only way to define what Nickeil Walker-Alexander is doing this season with Atlanta Hawks. His value as a sixth man has been proven for years, but he has elevated his game to a higher level in a competitive ecosystem that benefits his play and to which he is contributing with all his virtues.
It must run in the family. Nickeil Alexander-Walker, cousin of Shai, shows decision-making as exquisite as or even better than the best player at the moment. Evidence of this is that since the All-Star break, he has been shooting with a field goal efficiency of 70.2%, surpassing players who limit their shots to under the rim, like Duren or Zion, and other top stars in the league. Breaking down the analysis to March, 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 a historic splash in the playoffs. With Jalen Johnson and NAW performing at their current level, the Eastern Conference favorites would be wise not to let up if they end up facing them in the postseason. It will be interesting to see how long Nickeil Alexander-Walker can maintain this level of efficiency.
