NBA 2017-18: Top 10 Post-up players

#5 Anthony Davis - 4.5 Points per game

Anthony Davis

Just to get it out of the way before we start: Anthony Davis was the regular season MVP finalist for the 2017-18 season, and averaged 28.1 points and 11.1 rebounds per game.

Diving into individual plays, Davis continues to stand out. He ranks in the 79th percentile in post-ups and the 85th percentile in isolation (alongside the maestro Kyrie Irving), and all that while being asked to create more offense for himself.

He has become a full-fledged force on the offensive side of the basketball, and in the process, has come a long way from where he started. He's done it in a variety of ways and his arsenal only continues to grow.

The reality that he is able to clinch mammoth averages on the scoring and rebounding end, and still be 5th on the post-up list, is in itself a testament of how diverse this player is. Another mind-boggling stat figure is that he put up 4.5 points per game from the post having just 18.7% of his possessions in the post.
