What the Data Tells Us
- High scorers are also efficient scorers. The top 5 PPG leaders all shoot above 47% from the field, challenging the notion that high-volume scorers sacrifice efficiency.
- Free throw generation separates elite scorers. Players like Luka DonΔiΔ (8.7 FTA/g) and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (9.3 FTA/g) consistently draw contact, making free throws a major part of their scoring.
- Versatility is common at the top. Multiple players in the top 25 average 5+ rebounds AND 5+ assists, blurring traditional positional roles.
- Victor Wembanyama is an outlier in every dimension. Despite being only #19 in PPG, Wembanyama leads all top-25 scorers in blocks (2.6) and rebounds (11.1), showing a defensive impact no other scorer approaches.
- EFF rating vs. raw PPG can diverge significantly. Norman Powell (#22 in PPG at 23.0) has a lower EFF (19.2) than several lower-ranked scorers, reflecting fewer contributions outside of scoring.
