Tyrese Maxey has reached 28.7 PPG as Philadelphia’s primary scorer. Deni Avdija has made the biggest individual statistical improvement of any major player — up 7+ points from last year — earning his first All-Star selection. Jalen Duren leads the NBA in True Shooting percentage while anchoring the league’s best Eastern Conference team. And Josh Giddey ranks top-3 in the entire NBA in assists per game at just 22 years old. Each player below has a full written analysis section BEFORE his statistics — giving you context and career information alongside the numbers.
Nikola Jokić is the best player in the world in 2025–26 — and the numbers confirm it. The Denver Nuggets center is averaging a full triple-double: 27.9 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 10.9 assists per game, leading the entire NBA in assists. He shoots 57.1% from the field and 82.7% from the free-throw line, and his True Shooting percentage ranks top-3 in the NBA. By virtually every advanced metric — PER, BPM, RAPTOR, EPM, plus/minus (+10.8 to +12.3 by independent analysts) — Jokić is the most valuable player in basketball. The Denver Nuggets hold the #2 seed in the Western Conference at 50-28.
The Joker’s 2025–26 season is yet another chapter in one of the most extraordinary individual careers in NBA history. A three-time MVP (2021, 2022, 2024), 2023 NBA champion, and 2023 Finals MVP, Jokić has redefined what a center can do. Born in Sombor, Serbia, and selected 41st overall in the 2014 Draft — one of the greatest draft steals ever — he is the rare 7-footer who leads his team in assists. His 10.9 APG make him the most prolific playmaking center the game has ever seen. He is the clear favourite for a fourth MVP award in 2025–26.
Tyrese Maxey is having the best season of his career in 2025–26, posting a career-high 28.7 points per game for the Philadelphia 76ers. At just 25 years old, Maxey has established himself as one of the premier scoring guards in the Eastern Conference. Beyond his scoring, he contributes 6.8 assists per game as Philly’s primary ball-handler and a remarkable 2.0 steals per game — placing him top-2 in steals among all NBA guards. He shoots 89.2% from the free-throw line, one of the highest marks in the league, and his plus-minus of +4.6 confirms his two-way impact.
Maxey was selected 21st overall in the 2020 NBA Draft out of Kentucky, and his development has been remarkable. He won the Most Improved Player award in 2023–24 after averaging 25.9 PPG, and has elevated further in 2025–26. His explosive speed and ability to finish at the rim through contact make him a nightmare to contain. The 76ers signed Maxey to a 5-year, $204 million contract extension in 2024 — a deal that looks like excellent value given his current output. With Joel Embiid frequently unavailable, Maxey has carried the entire Philadelphia offensive load, leading the team to 43-35.
Deni Avdija has been the biggest breakout story of the 2025–26 NBA season. The Portland Trail Blazers forward is averaging 24.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game — a massive leap from his 16.9 PPG last season, an improvement of more than 7 points per night. This extraordinary all-around production earned him his first-ever NBA All-Star selection in 2026, where he represented Israel on the World roster alongside Luka Dončić and Nikola Jokić. His 6.8 APG is extraordinary for a small forward — it would rank as a starting point guard’s stat on most NBA teams.
Avdija was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, and selected 9th overall in the 2020 NBA Draft. After four solid seasons with Washington, a trade to Portland unlocked his full potential. At just 24 years old and 6’9, he has the combination of size, vision, and playmaking that is exceptionally rare for his position. Basketball-Reference ranks him top-20 in assists per 36 minutes (7.3) across the entire NBA, confirming that his playmaking is genuinely elite. Portland has committed to building around Avdija as their franchise cornerstone. He is one of the most exciting young players in basketball.
Kawhi Leonard remains one of the most gifted players in the NBA when healthy — a fact his 2025–26 numbers confirm. In the games he has played for the LA Clippers, Leonard is averaging 24.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game, while also ranking among the top three players in the NBA in steals per game. His plus/minus of +8.5 is one of the five best marks in the entire league this season, placing him 5th or 6th in independent analyst rankings. When Kawhi Leonard is on the court, the Clippers are a dramatically different and better team.
The concern with Kawhi has always been availability, and 2025–26 has once again seen limited games due to injury management at age 34. But his efficiency when available remains genuinely exceptional. A two-time NBA champion (2014 Spurs, 2019 Raptors) and two-time Finals MVP, Leonard is also a two-time Defensive Player of the Year. His 2019 corner buzzer-beater against Philadelphia — bouncing four times on the rim before dropping — is one of the most iconic moments in playoff history. He remains a future first-ballot Hall of Famer.
Josh Giddey is averaging a near-triple-double in 2025–26 and ranks in the top three in assists per game in the entire NBA. The Chicago Bulls guard is putting up 17.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 9.2 assists per night — appearing on the NBA APG leaderboard alongside Nikola Jokić and Cade Cunningham on StatMuse. At 6‘8, Giddey brings extraordinary size and rebounding instinct for a guard, making him one of the most physically unique players at his position in the league. He is a genuine triple-double threat every single night.
Giddey was selected 6th overall in the 2021 NBA Draft by Oklahoma City, where he set records as one of the youngest triple-double performers in NBA history. He signed a 4-year, $100 million deal with Chicago in September 2025. His 9.2 APG in 2025–26 are his best playmaking numbers yet, and Basketball-Reference ranks him top-20 in assists per 100 possessions in the NBA. A native of Melbourne, Australia, Giddey developed through the NBL’s Next Stars programme before entering the draft. His passing vision, at just 22, is already elite.
Jalen Duren has become one of the most efficient big men in the NBA, averaging 19.5 points and 10.6 rebounds per game while leading the entire NBA in True Shooting percentage this season. StatMuse’s 2025–26 TS% leaderboard shows Duren at #1, ahead of even Nikola Jokić and Deandre Ayton. His extraordinary efficiency — shooting approximately 68%+ at the rim and converting free throws at elite rates — earned him his first NBA All-Star selection in 2026. At just 21 years old, Duren is already one of the most dominant interior forces the league has seen from a player his age.
Duren is the engine of the Detroit Pistons, who hold the best record in the Eastern Conference at 57-21 — one of the most stunning team storylines of the 2025–26 season. Drafted 13th overall in 2022 out of Memphis, Duren has improved in every single category every season. In 2024–25 he averaged 11.8 PPG and 10.3 RPG on 69.2% FG in just 26.1 minutes per game. In 2025–26, with expanded minutes, he has elevated to All-Star level. His 1.1 blocks per game, relentless rebounding, and elite interior finishing make him one of the most exciting young centers in the NBA.
Pascal Siakam is having another elite season for the Indiana Pacers in 2025–26, averaging 24.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game — numbers that earned him his 2026 NBA All-Star selection despite Indiana’s challenging team situation. Per Basketball-Reference’s 2025–26 leaders, Siakam averages 26.0 PPG per 36 minutes — ranking 15th in the entire NBA. His versatile scoring, physical rebounding, and playmaking ability for a power forward make him one of the most complete players at his position in the Eastern Conference.
Siakam was born in Doualá, Cameroon, did not play organised basketball until his teenage years, was developed through Spain, and joined the Raptors via a second-round pick (27th overall, 2016). He won the 2019 NBA Championship with Toronto alongside Kawhi Leonard and was named Most Improved Player in 2018–19. After being traded to Indiana in January 2024, Siakam has continued producing at star level even with a struggling team around him. His fluidity, mid-range shooting, and ability to guard multiple positions make him one of the most well-rounded forwards in basketball.
Derrick White is one of the most underrated two-way players in the NBA, and the 2025–26 season has further proven his value. The Boston Celtics guard is averaging 18.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game in an expanded role following Jayson Tatum’s Achilles injury. He also averages a remarkable 1.2 blocks per game — an extraordinary number for a guard that ranks him among the league’s elite shot-blockers regardless of position. His plus-minus of +3.9 confirms his elite two-way impact. White is the rare guard who makes his team measurably better on both ends of the floor.
In 2024–25, White made 265 three-pointers — the fourth-most in a single NBA season in history. He is a 2024 NBA Champion with Boston. Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of White’s story is that he was completely undrafted in 2017 out of UC Colorado. He signed with San Antonio as an undrafted free agent, gradually developed, was traded to Boston in 2022, and has become one of the best defensive guards in the Eastern Conference. His career trajectory is an inspiration for players everywhere who are overlooked.
Michael Porter Jr. is one of the most gifted shooters in the NBA — a 6’10 forward with a 7’5 wingspan who converts 40%+ of his three-point attempts on 3.5+ shots per game. In 2025–26 for the Denver Nuggets, Porter Jr. is averaging 17.8 points and 6.9 rebounds per game as the critical third scoring option alongside Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray. He ranks in the top five in three-pointers made per 36 minutes in the entire NBA. His combination of elite size and shooting makes him one of the most difficult players to guard off the ball in Denver’s motion-heavy offence. His plus-minus of +3.0 confirms his positive floor impact.
Porter Jr. is a 2023 NBA Champion alongside Jokić. His path was complicated by two back surgeries that caused him to fall to the 14th overall pick in 2018 despite projections as a top-3 talent. Since then he has remained healthy and grown into a reliable contributor. A native of Columbia, Missouri, MPJ brings rare size-and-shooting versatility. His off-ball movement, curl-and-shoot ability, and knack for finding the right spots in Jokić’s offence make him a perfect complementary piece for a championship contending team.
Russell Westbrook is now a member of the Sacramento Kings in 2025–26, averaging 14.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game. His 8.3 APG places him in the top 15 in assists per 36 minutes in the entire NBA according to Basketball-Reference’s 2025–26 season leaders, and his 11.1 assists per 100 possessions also ranks 13th in the league. At age 37, Westbrook continues to defy time with his relentless energy, playmaking, and driving ability. He brings veteran leadership and elite distributing ability to a Sacramento roster.
Westbrook’s career legacy is already cemented as one of the most explosive point guards in NBA history. His 2016–17 season with OKC is one of the most statistically extraordinary ever: 31.6 PPG, 10.7 RPG, 10.4 APG en route to the 2017 MVP. He then broke Oscar Robertson’s all-time triple-double record, finishing with 198 triple-doubles — a record that may stand for decades. A 9x All-Star, Westbrook has also played for Houston, Washington, the Lakers, Utah, and the Clippers. His career averages of 23.5 PPG, 8.5 APG, and 7.4 RPG are Hall of Fame calibre.
Anthony Davis is one of the most dominant two-way big men in NBA history — but a finger injury has kept him sidelined for virtually the entire 2025–26 season with the Washington Wizards. The stats shown here reflect his 2024–25 season with Dallas: 24.7 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game, while also averaging 2.3 blocks and 1.2 steals per night. The Wizards announced in March 2026 that Davis would miss the remainder of the season due to the volar plate finger injury not fully healing. When fully healthy, Davis is arguably the most complete big man in basketball.
Davis is a 10x NBA All-Star, the 2020 NBA Champion alongside LeBron James in the Lakers’ bubble title, and a former #1 overall pick in 2012 from Kentucky. Known as “The Brow,” Davis stands 6’10 with a 7’4 wingspan and possesses elite two-way versatility: interior scoring, rim protection (2.3 BPG career average), and the ability to guard multiple positions. He was traded to Washington as part of the Luka Dončić blockbuster deal. Davis is expected to return for the 2026–27 season and, at age 32, still has productive years ahead.
