Mason Plumlee's performance against the Clippers on Monday night was only replicated by two other NBA players this season - - Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo. That's fairly elite company to belong to, especially considering the fact that both Durant and Antetokounmpo are wings that have the ball a lot, while Plumlee is not seen as a ball - dominant center. But while the company is elite, the stat line is n't totally shocking considering the numbers Plumlee has posted this season, especially, shockingly enough, in the assist column. Monday was the eighth time in 26 games this season where the big man has posted at least six assists, the 10th time he's dished out at least five assists and the 19th time he's had at least four assists. In fact, his average is currently 4 per game. For a big man, that's a very impressive number, and given Plumlee's ability to dish out the ball for scores on a consistent basis, this may not be the last time the Duke graduate posts a stat line like the one he had on Monday.
