“Avdija has already logged more possessions as a pick-and-roll initiator than he did in the full seasons he played in years two or three. He is fully tapping into his physicality and downhill speed on drives, which has him getting to the line at a rate on par with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. But his incessant drives are a larger playmaking conduit. No one in the league drives more often, and few pass out of drives more frequently. Avdija is just now finding his style as a primary option. It’s something the Blazers can confidently build on.”
At the top of the ranking are Nikola Jokić at #1, followed by MVPs Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Luka Dončić, Victor Wembanyama, Anthony Edwards, Stephen Curry, Donovan Mitchell, Jalen Brunson and Cade Cunningham round out the top 10, in that order.
