James Noble III

Play style
Plays within the scheme — consistent production without a dominant dimension.
Closer · Q4-with-lead carry share
Not actually a closer
3.9% of carries overall (23/587) → 14.0% of Q4-with-lead carries (17/121) — 0.0% of those in competitive (≤16-pt) games.
Counted from the play-by-play, so a carry or two can differ from the box score.
