Carlos Delfino and Patrick Patterson played extremely well in these 4 games, and hence got huge jumps in their season's effeciency ratings. James Harden is also inching up his season's efficiency rating to match Tracy McGrady's. Please note the nearly identical growth curve in EFF in first 4 years in their NBA careers.
