There are plenty of drivers behind Real Madrid's flying start to the year, as they top the Liga Endesa and are battling for top spot in the EuroLeague. One of these points to Dzanan Musa. The Bosnian small forward, who is in his first season with the Whites, has made a blistering start to 2023. In the 13 games played, he has always managed at least 10 points and 10 in PIR.
Musa displays great consistency. So far this season he has averaged 17.1 points, 39.5% in three-pointers, 2.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 15.6 in PIR in 22:30 minutes of play. He is the side's top scorer in both the league 15.8 points and EuroLeague 15.2. His tremendous output is essential to the operation of Chus Mateo's team.
Lethal from three-point range
Musa has displayed his qualities as a sharpshooter. In the current league campaign, he boasts a 50% success rate in three-point shots. He has hit two of the four he attempted in each game for a total of 42 out of 84. This record places him alongside other Madrid legends who finished the season above 50% efficiency from the perimeter, such as José Luis Llorente 57.7% in 88/89, Alberto Angulo 56.6% in 96/97, Carroll 53% in 15/16, Nocioni 52.3% in 15/16 and Thompkins 50% in 18/19.
