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.

Other notable and interesting names:

  • Devin Booker, 1.0, 1.56
  • SGA, 1.7, 1.37
  • Dario Saric 1.1, 1.29
  • DeMar DeRozan, 2.3, 1.14
  • Rudy Gobert, 1.4, 1.11
  • 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

I wish Tatum would go to the low post more. He still really wants to score with fancy dribble moves, which he's OK at, but they're also the reason his turnovers have been way up lately.
