There are certain players that are notoriously hot & cold (getting many of their points in bunches & then getting very few for a long stretch). Wheels is the prototypical hot & cold player in our lineup.
So if you believe that he will continue to be a point+ player per game through the season because he started that way is pretty far-fetched.
They are notorious because media and the laymen are too lazy to analyse whether or not they are actually streaky relative to the rest of the league.
Those that prop up the idea that players are streaky are those that assume every other 60 point player did it in clockwork fashion without bothering g to look. Streaky is easy to say, its easy to build a narrative around, and it creates a hit button buzzword. Actual comparisons take too much work so its easier to just trot out the old adage.
Wheelers notorious for being streaky. Is there a 60 point player that's notorious for being clock work consistent? If not, maybe wheelers streaky because scorers are streaky.
I also did not mean to make it seem I assume that hell continue his point per game pace. He's never maintained that pa e overba season so I don't expect him to now. My point was that I'd wager most 60+ point players have had 10 points in a 7 game stretch before. Wheelers is likely not any streakier the. Anyone else in the league
