Kevin McHale 1986-87: 26.1 PPG + 60.4% FG
Zion Williamson 2020-21: 27.0 PPG + 61.1% FG

Talk about dominance and efficiency. Economical and voluminous.

Shaq, Barkley, and Kareem were incredibly close. Chuck would've easily made it multiple times if he didn't shoot threes. Ditto Shaq; a heave or two cost him. Kareem put up 24.8 PPG on 60.4% FG.

Indeed. I think in one of his 5 seasons leading the nba in two-point FG% if you eliminate threes made and taken he had one season averaging 24 PPG on 64% FG

Wilt was incredibly close to averaging 25 PPG on 70 FG% in 1967.


As he averaged 24.1 PPG on 68.3% shooting.

Jokic is shooting 63.5% on 2 pointers and averaging 25.5 points right now, altho he makes 1.6 threes per game so I suppose if you take those away he wouldnt hit the 25 pt threshold. But in general he’s having the kind of season described in the OP.

Jokic is a real one. I believe he's currently leading the league in post-up efficiency -- 60% FG from the pivot.
