Post Play

Boban is the most efficient player in modern NBA History, according to FiveThirtyEight.com. (They covered his lack of play as well while he was on the Pistons.)

"Among players who’ve averaged 30 points per 100 possessions and played in at least 100 regular-season games, no player has been able to match Marjanovic in points per shot attempt, and those who have come closest are either already in the Hall of Fame or likely will be one day. He also currently leads the NBA by a wide margin in points per touch, according to data from Second Spectrum."

Boban is only shooting 60% from less than five feet. Both DeAndre Jordan and Montrezl Harrell are shooting a higher percentage at the rim, while not being as hampered on the other end of the court.
