Juan Carlos Navarro has played 41 of the 82 NBA regular-season games (by the way, only JCN and Kyle Lowry have played all 41 games!!, eleven of them as starter!!). Maybe, it's a good time to summarize JCN's first NBA half-season.
Right now, he leads the League in Three-Point Field Goals Per 48 Minutes (4.12) , ranks 11th in Three-Point Field Goals Made (85.0) and 16th in Three-Point Field-Goal Percentage (0.419). He averaged 10,9 PPG, 2,2 APG and 2,2 RPG in 24,1 MPG with an efficiency of +9. It sounds good, doesn't it?
Additionally, Navarro ranks 5th in the NBA Rookie Ranking - Week 12, and 8th in the NBA Rookie Class: Top 50 at ESPN. Of course, he will play in the 2008 T-Mobile Rookie Challenge (I guess :-P), an event that pits nine rookies against nine sophomores in the All-Star Weekend.
Finally, what we see below, in the extract, is an interesting example of what Navarro is capable of doing:
" Navarro had four 20-plus point scoring games in a recent eight-day stretch. He made 23-of-38 3s in that span and shot over 50 percent from the field."(January 23th, 2008 - David Thorpe's Analysis, NBA Rookie Top 50)
