Nobody has made more ,and he continues to lead the way in . The most dangerous on- and off-ball shooter in the league, we've never seen anyone quite like Curry.G - Ja Morant, Memphis GrizzliesHe might only be listed at 6-foot-3 and 174 pounds, but Morant plays likea giant in the paint. He's averaging in the painted area, putting him ahead of Antetokounmpo (15.4) andJokic (15.4) two 7-footers who can overpower just about anyone for most in the league. While Morant's athleticism grabs headlines, it's that makes him unique.F - LeBron James, Los Angeles LakersJames has already scored 30 or more Emmanuel Ogbah Jersey points in 22 games. Not only is that the most in the league, but it's also the has ever recorded in a single season.The current record-holder is Karl Malone, who racked up 27 30-point games in 1999-00. At the rate he's going, safe to a sume James will soontake over the No. 1 spot.F - Nikola Jokic, Denver NuggetsWant to know how valuable Jokic is? , the Nuggets are outscoring opponents by 10.2 points per 100 po se sions with the reigning MVP on the court. When hetakes a seat on the bench, opponents are outscoring them by brace yourself . For context, that's the difference between Denver Eric Fisher Jersey having the best g in the league and the worst.F - Andrew Wiggins, Golden State WarriorsWiggins is shooting a career-best 40.4 percent from the 3-point line. The secret to his succe s? Shot selection. His catch-and-shoot 3-point attempts are up to a career-highand he'saveraging his fewest pull-up 3-point attempts. He's thriving in a more simplified offensiverole than he's had in the past. Eastern Conference All-Star startersG - Trae Young, Atlanta HawksYoung sure isn't afraid to shoot from deep. Since entering the NBA in 2018-19, the Hawks guard has knocked down a total of from at least 28 feet, doing so at a 37.6 percent clip.(The furthest point of the 3-point line is 23 feet and nine inches, in case you were wondering, so we're talking deep.) Only Damian Lillard (272) has made more shots than Young from that distance over the last three and a half seasons.G - DeMar DeRozan, Chicago BullsDeRozan ()ranks second to only Joel Embiid () in clutch scoring. He's been acold-blooded a sa sin with the game on the line, shooting51.1 percent from the field and 90.0percent from the free-throw line. More importantly, the Bulls are in thoseminutes, which has helped them win 14of the 22games DeRozan has appeared in that have gone Mitchell Schwartz Jersey down to the wire.F - Kevin Durant, Brooklyn NetsDurant has been a cheat code from midrange. Only DeRozan () has made more shots than him () from midrange, and he's connected on those opportunitiesat a 55.1 percent Daniel Sorensen Jersey clip. The bulk of his middies havebeen contested as well. Built like a forward with guard skills, .F - Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee BucksNothing comes easy against Antetokounmpo at the basket. , opponents are shooting a measly45.8 percent against him at the rim. Not even three-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert (51.7 percent) has been quiteas effective of a rim protector. Don't sleep on Antetokounmpo's chances of winning MVP and DPOY (again!)this season.F - Joel Embiid, Philadelphia 76ersThere's a reason why Embiid's scoring has been getting a lot of attention you've seen what he's done in the month of January alone,right? but he's quietly dishing outthe most a sists of his career (4.3) while averaging his fewest turnovers (2.9). His growth as a playmaker has helped fill some of the void left by Ben Simmons, who led the 76ersin a sists in each of the last four seasons.
