The NBA All-Star Weekend is coming, which means that the regular season is coming to an end, and the data of many players is basically fixed. Among the many data, the efficiency value is undoubtedly the data that best reflects the role of a player on the field. So this article, the author will bring you, the season so far the NBA efficiency value of the top ten list. Jokic was in first place without suspense, James pushed Durant, and Demar DeRozan, who has been in hot form this season, has also made the list.
The center forward era is coming?
Everyone knows that this is a small ball era, but if you look at the efficiency value leaderboard, you will find that the center and flanker are still the most efficient players in this league. In the first place is Jokic, with an efficiency value of 32.6. Jokic played an unparalleled individual performance this season, unfortunately the team's second and third leaders have suffered injuries, so the single-core team has not been ideal, only in the sixth place in the West. He was followed by the Bucks' lead star, Alphabet Brother.
Alphabet Brother's efficiency value is also 32.3, and to put it bluntly, under the leadership of Alphabet Brother, the Bucks are still the biggest favorite to win the championship this season. It is worth mentioning that because of the injury of Lopez the Great, alphabet brother has appeared in the fifth position 43% of the time this season, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a center forward. As for the third place, it is Harden's new partner, the 76ers' star Embiid. Embiid's efficiency was 31.8 in the face of Ben Simmons' refusal to play, and it was because of his excellent performance that the 76ers were able to rank third in the East.
That is to say, the players in the top three with efficiency values can be called centers. In addition to this, gobert is still in the top ten, in addition to Davis 11th, Harrell 13th, Towns 14th, Allen 15th, Sabonis Jr. 17th, Ayton 19th. In the small-ball era, the center is in charge, which is indeed a bit surprising.

The 37-year-old LeBron James is still in fourth place in the league, but the efficiency value is only 26.7, which is a big gap from the top three. This season, James has also played as a starting center in many games. Durant is close behind, with an efficiency of 26.1, but due to injury, Durant has only played 36 games this season, the least number of appearances among the top ten players. Gobert is sixth in terms of efficiency at 25.3, and he's a hidden hero to the Jazz, without whom the Jazz would definitely slip down a notch.
The young genius Morant, who has made a comeback this season, overshadowed Doncic and Trae Young, ranking seventh in efficiency with an efficiency value of 25.1, and Trae Young's efficiency value of 25.1, ranking eighth. Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler is ninth with an efficiency of 24.9, and although Butler's style is not gorgeous enough, he can help the team as long as he is on the court, and is a typical practical player. DeRozan pressed the whistle to the list, with an efficiency value of 24.7, a new career high.
Probably no one imagined that the 32-year-old DeRozan would be able to reach the peak of his career for the Chicago Bulls. DeRozan's recent form has been outstanding, scoring 35+ in seven consecutive games and shooting more than 50%, which has allowed him to surpass Jordan Chamberlain as the first person in history.
