Yeah, I am not sure how to easily find that out.
Even so, last year tripled the number from the previous 3 seasons before that. I didn't look back further than that, but I assume 30 is the most we have seen reach that in the last 20 years.
I think it is going to be difficult for teams to justify paying PPG players the same salaries relative to the salary cap when very few players reached that benchmark. I think there is going to be some tough love for players that want to use the PPG standard now that it doesn't carry as much weight.
