The Most Efficient NBA Players At Each Position

It is a composite basketball statistic that is derived from basic individual statistics: points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, turnovers and shot attempts. Basically, it tells you which player is the best on paper.
This article will take you through the best NBA players on in each position.

Point Guard - James Harden, Houston Rockets
Commonly known as The Beard, James Harden is the most efficient Point Guard in the NBA. Houston Rockets are currently sitting on top of the Western Conference Standings and one of the main reasons for that is a man no other than James Harden. With his elite finishing skills and impossible to match court vision, The Beard is leading the pack.
Once again he is a front-runner for the MVP Race and if he keeps on going at this level, this time there won't be a Russell Westbrook to steal the title from him.
He has the richest contract in NBA history after signing a total six-year deal with $228 million guaranteed with the Houston Rockets.
