Okay, so I’ve been digging into Jaden Ivey’s stats against the Pacers lately, and I wanted to share my process and what I found. It’s been quite the journey, let me tell you.
First off, I started by pulling up as many game logs and summaries as I could find. You know, just to get a general sense of how Ivey performs when he’s up against Indiana. There’s a bunch of stuff out there, box scores, game recaps, you name it. I bookmarked anything that looked remotely useful.
Then, I got down to the nitty-gritty, manually recording his points, assists, rebounds, and all that jazz from each game. It was a bit tedious, sure, but I wanted to see the numbers for myself. I jotted everything down in a spreadsheet, game by game.
One thing that jumped out at me was that Ivey seems to really turn it up a notch against the Pacers. I mean, in one game, the dude dropped 29 points and 9 assists! That’s a rookie, too. It’s like he gets an extra boost of energy playing them. I highlighted that game in my notes because, wow, that’s impressive.
-
Points: From what I gathered, his average points per game against Indiana are pretty high. Some sources said around 19.8 points, and others said 19.3. I put an asterisk next to those numbers in my spreadsheet because there’s some discrepancy there. I need to double-check that.
-
Assists and Rebounds: He’s not just a scorer, either. I saw another game where he dished out 6 assists and grabbed 5 rebounds. He really fills up the stat sheet. I made a mental note to look into his assist-to-turnover ratio later.
-
Shooting: I also paid attention to his shooting percentages. In one game, he shot 8-13 from the field, including 3-8 from three-point range. Not too shabby. I circled those numbers because that’s some solid efficiency.
Injuries
Now, I also stumbled upon some news about an injury. Apparently, he had surgery on his leg and is out for a while. The reports said he’ll be re-evaluated in four weeks, but it could be two months or more before he’s back on the court. I scribbled that down in the margins of my notes because that’s important for context.
So, yeah, that’s where I’m at right now. I’ve got a spreadsheet full of numbers, some highlighted games, and a few question marks here and there. My next step is to verify those averages and maybe watch some game footage to see Ivey’s playstyle against the Pacers with my own eyes. It’s been a fun little project, and I’m excited to see what else I uncover. Stay tuned!
