#3 Kristaps Porzingis
Kristaps Porzingis is a 7' 3" phenomenon in the power forward position in the NBA. The Latvian found some consistency with the Dallas Mavericks after missing the entire 2018-19 season with a torn ACL.

However, his main weakness was his shooting efficiency, as he shot only 42% from the field. He could be more efficient in offense if he takes advantage of his size inside, but he is being used differently by his franchise at the moment.
Porzingis averages seven attempts from the three-point line and makes nine two-point attempts per game. He is efficient, but he could be better in creating more space on the perimeter, as there are not many defenders who can contain Porzingis inside.
He ranked sixth in PER, points per game and rebounds per game among players in his position in the NBA last season. He also ranked fifth in three-point shots made per game among all power forwards.
#T1 Anthony Davis
This is a tough one. Anthony Davis could not edge out reigning MVP and Defensive Player of the Year Giannis Antetokounmpo to top the list outright.
Anthony Davis was a key player in the LA Lakers' 2020 NBA championship run, leading the team in points per game during the regular season and the NBA Playoffs.
Among all power forwards last season, Anthony Davis was second in points per game in the regular season (26.1).
In the Playoffs, he led the NBA in total points with 582 and was first in both Offensive Win Shares with 3.3 and Win Shares with 4.5. Davis also led the Lakers in Offensive Rating during the NBA Playoffs.
In the regular season, Davis finished second in PER (27.4), fifth in True Shooting Percentage, second in Box Plus/Minus and second in Value over Replacement.
#T1 Giannis Antetokounmpo
Giannis Antetokounmpo became the third player in NBA history (after Michael Jordan and Hakeem Olajuwon) to win the NBA Most Valuable Player and Defensive Player of the Year awards in the same season.
He was stellar in the 2019-20 regular season and was the best player in the league during that stage of the competition. He averaged 30 points, 14 rebounds and six assists per game on 55% shooting.
The Greek Freak also established a new single-season record for PER by tallying a score of 31.9. He led the league in Defensive Box Plus/Minus, Box Plus/Minus, Defensive Win Shares and Defensive Rating categories.
Antetokounmpo led all power forwards in every major stat categories. However, he shares the number one spot with Davis because the latter showed a more complete game during the NBA Playoffs.
