Based on point per possession, these guys are the top 5:

(Player, Poss, PPP)

  • Kristaps Porzingis, 2.1, 1.56
  • Jayson Tatum, 2.9, 1.29
  • Tobias Harris, 2.3, 1.21
  • Anthony Davis, 4.4, 1.20
  • Karl-Anthony Towns, 3.2, 1.18

Top 5 players with the most post-up possessions are:

  • Nikola Jokic, 6.8, 1.13
  • Joel Embiid, 6.1, 1.06
  • Bam Adebayo, 5.0, 0.93
  • Anthony Davis, 4.4, 1.20
  • Julius Randle, 3.5, 0.90

https://www.nba.com/stats/players/playtype-post-up?dir=D&sort=POSS

AD is the only one being in both lists. Bam and Randle looking not very efficient posting up, but they still do a lot. Jokic, as usual, has the most post-ups with very respectable efficiency, shooting 57.3% from the field.

  • Devin Booker, 1.0, 1.56
  • SGA, 1.7, 1.37
  • Dario Saric 1.1, 1.29
  • DeMar DeRozan, 2.3, 1.14

  • LeBron James, 1.8, 1.03
  • Giannis Antetokounmpo, 3.5, 0.82
  • Zion Williamson, 3.2, 0.83
  • Victor Wembanyama, 2.9, 0.89

The least efficient players with at least 1 possession per game:

  • Evan Mobley, 1.1, 0.52
  • Anthony Edwards, 1.1, 0.61
  • Nikola Vucevic, 2.9, 0.72 (WOW)
  • Jeremy Sochan, 1.2, 0.73
  • Isaiah Stewart, 1.2, 0.74

    Post Tatum is here.

    Tatum’s natural game has always been more Kobe-y, and I think him trying to have a James Harden shot diet was really limiting him the past couple years, especially when the 3 wasn’t falling.

    This year he’s found that middle ground between efficient shots and his own style, and its looked so much more decisive and controlled. Plus he added size and clearly worked on some post moves. Bro finally remembered he’s 6’8 and can just shoot over everyone.

      Didn’t he grow an inch? Heard him say he’s 6"9 now. Not the 6’10 story that was a joke from 2 years ago

    I hand tracked Tatum’s post fadeaways this season before the game vs the Bulls and he’s shooting 55% on them lol. 21/38.

    Doesn’t include possessions where he was fouled either so that makes it even more efficient. Pretty nice for a difficult shot.

    Odd to switch from a 2 possession minimum to 1. Almost seems intentional
