#6. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was a first-time All-Star last season and earned an All-NBA selection. He has only become even more efficient with a healthier lineup surrounding him. Opponents can no longer just solely focus on him defensively as Chet Holmgren, Jalin Williams and several others have proven to be solid scorers.

With more isolations, SGA has maximized the most out of them. The point guard’s rhythm and ability to get off shots using different angles are almost unmatched in the NBA. He is scoring 1.15 points when playing against single coverage.

#5. Kawhi Leonard

Kawhi Leonard has been seemingly unforgotten because of his injuries and laid-back style. Unfortunately for defenders, he has been healthy this season and has been reminding NBA fans of what he can do on offense.

“The Claw” is averaging 1.18 points per possession, which puts him in the top five in the league. Leonard’s accuracy and his clutch DNA make him a tough cover, particularly in late-game situations.

#4. De’Aaron Fox

De’Aaron Fox was named last season as the first winner of the Jerry West Clutch Player of the Year Award. The league defined “clutch” as any game in which the score is within five points with five minutes or less remaining on the clock. Fox had 194 points in those situations.

This season, Fox is a strong contender to repeat. He can legitimately put up shots when and where he wants to put up. The cat-quick guard has been punishing defenders in one-on-one situations, averaging 1.21 points per iso play.
