Contents
We take a look at the best statistical performers in the NBA so far this season.
Introduction
In the National Basketball Association (NBA), there are a variety of ways to evaluate players. One way is to look at their ” stats “. Stats are a numerical representation of a player’s abilities and contributions to their team. Different stats can tell you different things about a player. For example, ” points per game ” (PPG) is a stat that measures how many points a player scores, on average, during an NBA game. A player’s PPG can give you an idea of how good they are at scoring points.
Other stats include ” assists per game ” (APG) , which measures how many assists a player typically has during an NBA game, and ” rebounds per game ” (RPG) , which measures how many rebounds a player typically has during an NBA game.
In this article, we will take a look at the NBA players with the best career stats in each of the major statistical categories.
Field Goal Percentage
Field goal percentage (FG%) is the ratio of the number of field goals made to the number of field goals attempted. The higher the percentage, the more efficient a player is.
Here are the top 10 players in the NBA in FG% for the 2019-2020 season:
1. Dwight Howard – 69.2%
2. Rudy Gobert – 67.4%
3. Deandre Jordan – 64.5%
4. Brook Lopez – 63%
5. Joel Embiid – 62%
6. Mitchell Robinson – 61.4%
7. Serge Ibaka – 60%
8. Jarrett Allen – 59%
9. Luke Kornet – 57%
10. Thomas Bryant – 56%
Three-Point Percentage
In the NBA, three-point percentage is a statistic that measures the percentage of three-point field goals made by a player. The higher the three-point percentage, the better the player is at shooting threes.
So, who has the best three-point percentage in the NBA? The answer may surprise you. The player with the best three-point percentage in the NBA is Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors. Curry has a career three-point percentage of 45.4%. That means that he has made 45.4% of his three-point attempts over the course of his career.
Curry is followed by Kyle Korver of the Atlanta Hawks, who has a career three-point percentage of 44.9%. Korver is followed by Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors, who has a career three-point percentage of 44.8%.
Free Throw Percentage
The answer might surprise you. Entering the 2019-20 season, active players with the best career free throw percentage are Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and…Andrew Bogut? That’s right, the seventh-year veteran center currently leads all active players in free throw percentage, shooting a tidy 60.9 percent from the line for his career.
Player Efficiency Rating
Per ESPN, “Player Efficiency Rating (PER) is a measure of per-minute production standardized such that the league average is always 15. Terms such as ‘points per possession’ or ‘net points’ are more indicative of a team’s offense or defense than ‘points per game,’ but they don’t take into account playing time. PER attempts to measure a player’s total contribution over the course of a season, adjusting for pace.”
In the world of basketball statistics, there are a lot of different ways to measure a player’s impact on the game. One popular metric is called “win shares,” which estimates the number of wins a player contributes to his team over the course of a season.
There are a lot of different factors that go into win shares, but the basic idea is simple: the better a player is, the more likely his team is to win. And so, if we want to know who the best players in the NBA are, we can look at who has contributed the most “win shares” to their team over the course of a season.
So, who are the best players in the NBA according to this metric? The answer may surprise you.
