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

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
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
- Giannis Antetokounmpo, 3.5, 0.82
- Zion Williamson, 3.2, 0.83
- Victor Wembanyama, 2.9, 0.89

Porzingis has come a long way
Posting the top 5 efficient post players in the title without accounting for post up frequency is a little misleading. If you did the same thing for 3 point percentage, there’d be players with higher efficiency than Steph Curry because they take fewer 3 pointers than him
The most useless stat ever. What does it mean when Tobias Harris is ass this year. Ask any sixers fan
Let’s go dario, always good to see the antichrist doing well
I think my sub is going to circle jerk to this
Does Lack of spacing has something to do with Mobley not being a efficient post up guy ?
dude can barely dribble
