The Wake Forest Demon Deacons may be down Tim Duncan but there is still a show to see in the NBA.

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons are not represented in the NBA as much as the Kentucky Wildcats, Duke Blue Devils or North Carolina Tar Heels. Despite having a small amount of former Demon Deacons in the NBA, Wake Forest maintains a good crop of former players. These players are among the best at their respective positions.

Lets take a look at how they performed during the month of November.

Chris Paul represents the cream of the crop for the Wake Forest Alums currently in the NBA. He leads the NBA in steals (2.48 per game) and ranks fifth in assists in the NBA (nine assists per game).

Paul had an impressive November. He notched a triple-double against the Brooklyn Nets on November 29, 2016 (26 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds). The Nets defeated the Clippers, 127-122.

On November 2, 2016, Paul was one assist away from a triple-double (15 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists). Oklahoma City won the game 85-83.

In a 121-115 Clippers’ victory against the Sacramento Kings, Paul finished the game with 12 assists, 11 points and nine rebounds; one rebound shy of a triple-double.

For the month of November, Paul averaged 17.6 points, 9.1 assists and 5.3 rebounds while shooting 44.2% from the field, 41.7% from three-point range and 89.7% from the free throw line.
