750th Steal

In his 14-year NBA career, Dunleavy has recorded a total of 704 steals, which is not too shabby for a small forward who has played a little over 900 games. He hit the 700 mark last year and this year he can add to it. Dunleavy averages 0.8 steals per game, so if he can get that and play his career average of 66 games per season, he can get over 50 steals this year. That means we may see Dunleavy reach the 750th steal milestone.
