I’ve crunched the numbers and conducted an analysis of the performances of some of the best scorers from both the regular season and the playoffs.
Each player’s Points Per Game (PPG) is compared in ratio to their Effective Field Goal percentage (EFG%). What’s fascinating to observe is the visible trend of enhanced defense during the playoffs, which can be seen from the noticeable dip in efficiency for most players.
Anthony Edwards could be the next big thing in the league, while Booker’s insane stretch of games pumped up his efficiency. The reincarnation of MJ himself leads the PPG difference (if Kawhi is not included who has played only 2 games) with +8.6. Jalen Brunson has also displayed how much of a bargain he was for the Knicks. Giannis and Embiid underperformed, while KD kept his constancy as always.
Their difference in PPG:
Joel Embiid : -9.4
Giannis Antetokounmpo : -7.8
Kawhi Leonard : +10.7
Devin Booker : +5.9
Anthony Edwards : +7.0
Jimmy Butler : +8.6
Nikola Jokic : +6.5
Stephen Curry : +1.1
Kevin Durant : -0.1
Jalen Brunson : +3.8
