🧩 The Storyline
The 12 Ps’ debut in the KP / NuPi League came with a familiar mix of promise and pain.
Efficiency? Elite.
Availability? Not so much.
Despite fielding three fewer games than U-dot, Killa’s squad shot the leather off the rock — a crisp .485 FG% / .886 FT% clip — but couldn’t match the raw volume of U-dot’s 45-game week. Scottie Barnes, Giannis, and Austin Reaves carried the counting-stat load for U-dot, while Killa’s playmakers watched from the sideline tape.
🔬 Category Breakdown
💣 Scoring & Threes
No Fox. No Garland. No problem for FG%, but the volume was missing.
68 threes vs 77 told the story — Grayson Allen and Trey Murphy III filled the gap, but without the injured guards, U-dot won the distance game and outscored 12 Ps by 94 points (753 – 659).
🪣 Boards & Dimes
Rebounding (+14 U-dot) and assists (+77 U-dot) were decided by availability.
U-dot got four games each from Reaves, Barnes, and Giannis, while Killa was down Fox, Garland, and Murray — his top three facilitators. That assist gap (214 – 137) was the difference between a split and a setback.
🧱 Defense & Turnovers
Steals (40-40) were a wash, but U-dot’s rim protection (Claxton + Giannis + Turner) gave him a 7-block edge.
Killa, however, won the possession battle — only 71 turnovers to U-dot’s 96, showing the 12 Ps’ discipline and decision-making.
🧑⚕️ Injury Report — and the Ripple Effect
Killa’s MASH unit included:
- De’Aaron Fox (ankle)
- Darius Garland (hamstring)
- Jamal Murray (hamstring)
- Anthony Davis (hip)
- Brandon Miller (ankle)
- Shaedon Sharpe (foot)
Six rotation-level contributors down — and still only a 3-5-1 loss? That’s a silver lining.
💡 Bright Spots
- Jalen Johnson: 93 PTS / 21 REB / 7 AST / .606 FG — quietly turning into a fantasy gem.
- Alex Sarr: Rookie swagger with two-way impact (.524 FG / 7 BLK).
- Grayson Allen: All-around production and elite ratios.
- Team FT%: 109-of-123 (88.6%) — unreal consistency.
🧮 Analytics Corner
- Efficiency Index (+25 TO differential): Shows your core philosophy works — precision and ball security.
- Assist Deficit: 77-assist gap equals ~11 missed PG-level games. Once Fox or Garland returns, expect a category swing.
- 3PT Volume: Your team hits quality shots, but not quantity. Adding a 3-and-D streamer can flip this fast.
🧭 Rest-of-Season Outlook
The 12 Ps are built for sustainability: elite shooting, low turnovers, multi-positional depth.
Once the stars return, this team has 5-4 and 6-3 weeks written all over it. Week 2 was a loss on paper, but the underlying metrics say this squad is a playoff lock with title upside.
Killanomics Quote of the Week:
“You can’t win the war without your generals — but even shorthanded, the 12 Ps kept their formation tight.”
📈 Next Up
Week 3 brings a bounce-back chance against a less efficient opponent.
If Fox or AD suit up, look for Killa to reclaim the assist and points categories and get back above .500.
