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’m confused by your last list.

    You seem to have skipped a bunch of guys who are worse than Wemby by your link…

    Durant, Paolo, Wiggins, Luka, Grant, Sabonis, Ingram, Murray, Kawhi, AG, Scottie Barnes…

    Said kp was Bostons second best player before the season, everything has supported this by a landslide.

    KAT is mostly posting up when he’s matched vs smaller players so some of his efficiency is a result of playing forward instead of center.

    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.

    honestly think we could lean a little harder into KP in the post. not that we should run our whole offense through there, obviously, but it’s a nice counter to have and i feel like we’re leaving a little bit of food on the table there— he was at 3.4 post-ups per game last year and was still very efficient on them, even though the Wizards didn’t have anywhere near the spacing we do
