The Brooklyn Nets star made 50.5% of his field goals and 78% of his shots from the foul line. Harris ended up with a 66.3% true shooting percentage, the third-highest in the 2020-21 NBA season.

It was important for his team that he stepped up as Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden all had injury-plagued seasons last year.

#2 Michael Porter Jr. - 66.3%

Michael Porter Jr. made a huge leap in his sophomore season last year. The Denver Nuggets sharpshooter was a lethal threat on the offensive end. His performances played a key role in helping the injury-riddled Nuggets finish as the third-seed in the West.

MPJ averaged 19 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. He shot 54.2% from the field, 44.5% from the 3-point line and 79.1% from the foul line. The Nuggets star recorded a 66.3% true shooting percentage, the second-highest in the NBA last season.

If MPJ continues to improve at this rate, he will be a huge problem to deal with for opponents next season. Porter finished third in the Most Improved Player of the Year voting because of his solid leap in production last season.

#1 Kevin Durant - 66.6%

Kevin Durant played limited games in his first full season with the Brooklyn Nets but made a huge impact every time he played. The 2014 MVP award winner averaged 26.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.

Durant shot a career-high-tying 53.7% from the field, 45% from the 3-point line and 88.2% from the free-throw line.

This remarkable efficiency saw him record a 66.6% true shooting percentage. It was the highest TS% of his career so far. Durant had a stellar playoffs campaign. He will be hoping he can carry that form into next season.

If he stays healthy for large swathes, the Brooklyn Nets will be the team to beat in the 2021-22 campaign.
