Heading into December, one player stood above the rest of the NBA in terms of field goal percentage: Jarrett Allen.
Through Brooklyn’s first 19 games of the season, the Nets center shot 67.4% from the floor. He leads Sacramento Kings big man Richaun Holmes — who’s second in the NBA in field goal percentage — by 2.5%.
But it doesn’t end there for Allen.
In November, Allen shot 69.7% from the floor, logging the fourth-highest field goal percentage in the NBA. (DeAndre Jordan was right behind him at 69.5%.)
As it was pointed out on YES Network’s broadcast of Sunday’s game against the Miami Heat, Allen’s field goal percentage in November is the highest for any Nets player in a single month.
Mason Plumlee previously held the record with his 68.9% mark in January of 2015. Prior to Plumlee, Darryl Dawkins had been the record holder. He set it at 65.4% in January of 1984, then broke the record again in November of 1985.
