Below is a focused look at the top scorers compared by their shooting efficiency (FG%) and long-distance volume (3PA).
| Rank | Name | PTS | FG% | 3PA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Luka Doncic | 32.8 | 47.3% | 10.3 |
| 2 | Shai Gilgeous-Alexander | 31.8 | 55.4% | 4.6 |
| 7 | Nikola Jokic | 28.8 | 59.3% | 4.8 |
| 9 | Stephen Curry | 27.2 | 46.8% | 11.5 |
When we analyze this data, we see two different styles of elite scoring. Volume Scorers like Stephen Curry and Luka Doncic rely heavily on 3-point attempts (over 10 per game) which naturally lowers their overall FG%.
In contrast, Efficiency Leaders like Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shoot much higher percentages. Jokic leads the group at 59.3% because he plays closer to the rim, while Shai is remarkably efficient for a guard who takes fewer threes.
