Stats review: Who have been 2025's most reliable scorers?

The most-efficient players in the league have had big roles in their teams' success

With two rounds remaining, the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague regular season is nearing its conclusion. Only two teams have locked up their playoff qualification and there are a dozen teams still vying for a chance to advance to the next phase... And every team currently in the postseason picture is still competing for important seeding, so momentum at this juncture of the season is incredibly valuable.

The contributions of the players above have been critical to their team’s performances down the stretch. The table lists the most efficient scorers since January 1st among players using at least 9 possessions per game.

The intrigue at the top here aligns with the ongoing battle at the top of the standings. Despite the efforts of Sasha Vezenkov, who has held one of the top spots on every version of the list in all of his recent EuroLeague campaigns, Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul leapfrogged Olympiacos Piraeus in Round 32 to rise into first place with two games remaining. Errick McCollum has had a lot to do with that. The 37-year-old did not join Fenerbahce until January and, amid a few quiet nights, has shot the lights out off the bench on numerous occasions late in the year. Like Marko Guduric further down this list, he gives that offense another X-factor who can run extremely hot offensively. With very little decided in the Play-In Showdown qualification spots, what the difference between the top two seeds means in the short term is difficult to say, but there’s pride and Final Four seeding on the line for the league’s current leaders.

After finishing 2024 at 9-9, FC Barcelona has gone 9-5 in 2025 while gaining important ground on several teams around them in the standings for tie-breaker purposes. Dario Brizuela’s sudden rise as a knockdown shooter has been an important factor in that turnaround. After a mini-slump that saw him shoot only 15% from beyond the arc in November, Brizuela has shot 53% from three ever since - a big reason why Barcelona now leads the EuroLeague in bench scoring.

Sterling Brown’s placement here is not especially surprising - he’s been one of this season’s most opportunistic three-point shooters while finishing at a 73% clip on the interior. The same goes for Nikos Rogkavopoulos who has made more jump shots over closeouts than anyone on the year.

Jordan Loyd and Daniel Theis were both in-season pickups for AS Monaco who have both filled significant roles in their late-season battle for home-court advantage in the playoffs. While Loyd’s scoring chops are well-established, Theis last played in the EuroLeague during the 2016-17 campaign. He’s quickly solidified himself as one of the league’s most effective roll men nonetheless.

Cedi Osman is another player who has returned to the EuroLeague for the first time since the 2016-17 season and while he got off to a modest start, he has starred at times in 2025 for the defending champions. While Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens is in good shape to secure home-court advantage in the quarterfinals, currently sitting in third place, perhaps the wildest fact of the second half of the season is that they still are technically not assured a spot in the postseason with two games remaining.

Shabazz Napier started the season on fire, cooled off mid-year, and then picked his level of play back up in time to keep FC Bayern Munich on the edge of the top four. Napier creates separation for his jumper at a high level and has been very tough to guard when his jumper is falling on top of that.

Whether this group keeps things going through the final two weeks is a point of interest as there’s still a staggering amount on the line with the season winding down.
