A very observant Reddit user may have uncovered a stat padding scandal involving Jaren Jackson Jr. His home stats are inflated by almost double in the blocks and steals categories. This has led to him rising from +10,000 to win DPOY to being the odds on favorite. Other implications would seem to be prop bets such as over/under blocks and steals per game. As I understand this will be turning into a pretty massive story all from one guy noticing an odd trend and analyzing the data. Kudos to you sir!

I’m very interested to see if this weird statistical trend, as some see it to be, continues the rest of the season. This Reddit post has made it pretty damn far already. If JJJ’s numbers at home drop to a more normal level historically all of a sudden right now that would say a lot.

Like 80% of the posts in here are by one guy, but he never posts that much when he isn’t the OP.  I think he’s artificially inflating the amount of interest in the topic to hit some props at BetMgoBlog.com.  Need a Reddit guy to investigate.
