Top Season Scorers by Position of All Time

Post by **Josh** » July 25th, 2024, 12:13 pm

Using the same data set as my last article, I parsed out the top scorers by position. There's also a column to the far right of each table indicating the ranking among players of all positions.

The leading scorers are typically SFs (especially if you count Dirk as a SF). The leading efficiency comes from SGs, and the volume isn't far behind the SFs.

A couple oldies throughout the list. Nash hit an insane 3P Rate - 30% of all his FGs. Ray Allen and Reggie Miller got buckets.

I found it interesting that Okur didn't make the C TS list as one of the only 3P shooters at the C position.
