TJ Warren goes for 23, Now has more baskets than James Harden

If you follow us over here at PackInsider.com, then you’re probably used to the daily TJ Warren updates. Well, guess what? We’ve got another one.

Warren again led the Suns with 23 points and did it efficiently on 11-20 shooting. (highlights below)

He has been the model of consistency for the Suns all season long and put the team on his shoulders while Devin Booker sat with injuries.

I guess the question is not ‘IF’ TJ Warren is going to be good, but it’s now ‘HOW’ good is he going to be?

Actually, Warren is one of the most elite shot makers in the NBA. That’s right, he’s better made more baskets than some of the biggest names in the league this year.

Fun fact: T.J. Warren has made more baskets than James Harden, Kristaps Porzingis, and Jimmy Butler this season.

The reason he’s not a Top-10 scorer is that he’s shooting just 18% from 3pt range. If Warren were to shore up his game from long distance, then Tony Buckets would be a household name.

As of now, Warren is averaging 19.9ppg and is 26th in the league in scoring. That number is steadily creeping up as he keeps on putting up big game after big game and there’s a good chance he makes his first All-Star game this year.

I think it’s safe to say that Warren has arrived on the games largest stage.
