Uncle Drew is 5th on our list. Arguably the best point guard finisher around the rim, he can dazzle anybody with his dribble and can pull up from threes too.
Although his isolation numbers are reduced from last year, but that's mainly because he is now playing for Brad Stevens who prioritize ball movement than isolation. Kyrie's isolation frequency is down from 21.4% to 15.2% this year, which is a significant decrease.
It's a bit odd that with the decrease in frequency, how his efficiency is also decreasing from 1.12 to 0.99 points per possession. Probably he will pick it up to his last year's efficiency as the season goes on.
