Over the last 10 seasons in the NBA, we have watched offenses explode when it comes to production. Whether that is a product of the increase in three-point shots being taken or the defensive rules that allow scoring to be a bit easier than in the past is neither here nor there. The fact is that teams are scoring at the highest rates they have been since the 1960s and 70s when looking at team averages.

Recently, we discussed the NBA players with the most combined points, rebounds, and assists over the last 10 seasons. Today, we are going to do things a little differently. The list below will consist of all 30 NBA teams and their leading scorers over the last decade. Included here, you will see scoring champions, MVPs of the league, and many NBA champions and Finals MVPs as well. Of course, we are just calculating regular season points scored for the list below.
These are the most elite scorers for each franchise over the last 10 seasons in the NBA.
Atlanta Hawks – Trae Young – 8,990 Points

Trae Young made his NBA debut in the 2018-19 season, which makes his spot atop the Atlanta Hawks’ franchise in scoring over the last 10 years more impressive. Young has a reputation as a deep three-point shooter, which is true, but he is also a scorer in numerous other ways.
Let’s start with the three-point shooting, though, for the casual fan. Young has knocked down at least 150 threes in four of his five seasons with the Hawks so far in his career and has hit the 200 threes made mark twice. He has shot the ball 35.1% from three for his career, which doesn’t seem like much at first, but considering his 7.1 attempts per game, it is still pretty good.
Armed with one of the best floaters in the game and a decent mid-range shot as well, Young has been one of the best overall scorers in the NBA. He has reached 1,5000 points scored in every season of his career so far while shooting the ball 43.7% from the field. In 2022, he led the NBA in total points with 2,155 points, the most for one season in his career.
Boston Celtics – Jayson Tatum – 9,865 Points

Over the last six seasons, Jayson Tatum has evolved into one of the 10 best players in the game today. A big reason for that is his production on the offensive side of the ball as a scorer. He has steadily increased both his total points and scoring average every season he has been on the court with the Celtics and has already put forth memorable performances and seasons in the green and white.
Over his first two seasons in the NBA in 2018 and 2019, Tatum was impressive with back-to-back seasons with over 1,100 points scored and a 14.8 PPG scoring average. Since 2019-20, it has been a different story. Tatum has recorded four straight seasons averaging at least 23.0 PPG and tallying at least 1,500 points. For his career, he has shot the ball 45.8% from the field overall and 37.5% from three on an average of 9.3 attempts.
In 2022-23, Tatum became the first player in Celtics history to average at least 30.0 PPG in a season as he recorded a 30.1 PPG average on 46.6% shooting. Tatum would also lead the NBA in total points with 2,225 as the Celtics wrapped up the second-best record in the Eastern Conference.
Brooklyn Nets – Joe Harris – 5,007 Points

For the Brooklyn Nets, their leading scorer over the last decade is a product of the three-point revolution in the NBA during this time as well as an extended stay with the team. Joe Harris joined the Nets in July 2016 as a free agent and, over that time, became one of the best three-point shooters in the game.
In his seven seasons with the Nets from 2016-17 thru 2022-23, Harris averaged only 11.6 PPG but shot 43.7% from three. His best season would come in 2018-19 when he had his only career 1,000-point season and knocked down 183 three on 47.4% shooting from behind the arc, which led the league. In 2021, Harris would lead the NBA in three-point percentage once again, shooting 47.5% from deep while knocking down 211 three-pointers, a career-high.
After being traded to the Pistons this offseason, Harris will no longer add to his Nets career total in points. Current Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie can surpass Harris with just 659 points.
Charlotte Hornets – Kemba Walker – 9,755 Points

Kemba Walker is not only the Charlotte Hornets’ leading scorer over the last 10 seasons, but he also holds the franchise record in points and three-pointers made. Walker spent a total of eight seasons with the Hornets to begin his career, six of which fall under the last decade mark we are speaking of today.
During those six eligible seasons, Walker nearly doubled the next eligible player in total points, Terry Rozier, with 5,278 points. Walker would be an All-Star in three of those seasons, with four straight seasons from 2016 thru 2019 with at least 1,500 points. In 2019, Walker had the highest-scoring season of his career when he scored 2,102 points, the only 2,000-point season of his career.
Over this time, Walker would also enjoy three consecutive seasons from 2017 thru 2019 with at least 2000 made three-pointers and shot 36.5% from three. He also shot 42.2% overall as he built up his resume as one of the best players in Charlotte Hornets’ history.
Chicago Bulls – Zach LaVine – 8,562 Points

Other than the Slam Dunk Contest wins and feats of elite athleticism we have seen Zach LaVine accomplish over the years, he has also become one of the NBA’s top offensive players at the shooting guard position. LaVine has been a true three-level threat as a scorer ever since joining the Bulls in 2017, and the numbers prove it.
Since joining the Bulls in 2017, LaVine has had four seasons of at least 1,500 points or more, all consecutively from 2020 thru 2023. LaVine has shot the ball 47.2% overall during this time and has shot 38.6% from three as well. In 2021, he had his first season with 200 three-pointers and topped that in 2023 with 204 threes on 67 more attempts.
During this time, LaVine would become an All-Star twice, with the Bulls averaging 24.5 PPG in six seasons which peaked at 27.4 PPG in 2021.
Cleveland Cavaliers – LeBron James – 7,868 Points

Even with just four seasons of play with the Cavaliers over the last decade, LeBron James holds a slim lead as the Cavaliers’ leading scorer. James played with the Cavaliers from 2015 thru 2018 during the last 10 seasons, leading them to four straight NBA Finals and winning an NBA championship in 2016.
During his return to Cleveland after four years away, James remained one of the most lethal scorers in the game. His bread-and-butter was still the downhill attack on the basket, but he had also added a bit more to his repertoire. He recorded four seasons of 1,700 points or more in those four years as well as three straight with at least 1,900 from 2016 thru 2018. In 2018, his final year in Cleveland, James led the NBA with 2,251 total points on 54.2% shooting overall and 36.7% shooting from three.
James eclipsed the 100 three-pointers mark in three of his four seasons with Cleveland during the second go-around but shot only 35.1% from beyond the arc. Adversely, he shot over 50.0% overall from the field in all but his first season back with the Cavaliers and 52.6% over the course of those four years.
Dallas Mavericks – Luka Doncic – 9,100 Points

Much like the player he was traded for earlier in this list, Luka Doncic made his NBA debut in 2018-19 after being the fourth overall selection in the 2018 NBA Draft. Doncic has been one of the elite scorers in the game, even as a rookie, showing off his ability to slow down the game to his pace and pick apart defenses from any spot he wants on the court. Doncic has proven to be especially dangerous in the pick-and-roll with the Mavericks over the last five seasons as a three-level scorer and playmaker.
Doncic has yet to record a season in the NBA in which he has scored less than 1,500 points as he remains the focal point of the Mavericks’ offense. Doncic has averaged 27.6 PPG over the first five years of his career and shows no signs of slowing down. Since 2021, Doncic has recorded three straight years with at least 1,800 points as well, recording his first 2,000-point season in 2023 with 2,138 points in 66 games played.
Doncic has also improved his efficiency every season of his career, reaching a career-high 49.6% shooting in 2022-23. His three-point shooting remains a work in progress as a 33.8% career shooter from that range, but he has knocked down over 150 threes every season he has been in the NBA as well. In 2022, he set a career-high in that category with 201 three-pointers made.
Denver Nuggets – Nikola Jokic – 12,054 Points

With eight seasons under his belt in a Denver Nuggets uniform, Nikola Jokic is their leading scorer over the last decade. Jokic has been one of the best players in the world over the last four seasons, winning two MVPs, an NBA championship, and a Finals MVP award with Denver as one of the most unique talents and greatest centers in NBA history.
As for his scoring, Jokic has been a 1,500-point scorer five times already and, in 2022, recorded his only 2,000-point season with 2,004 points. During his MVP seasons in 2021 and 2022, Jokic scored a total of 3,902 points while shooting 57.5% from the field. Jokic has also shown off his range at times which, includes in the 2018 season when he hit a career-high 111 shots from three.
In 2021, Jokic also led the NBA in made two-point shots as he dominated opponents around the basket with his soft touch and efficient shot selection. Jokic has averaged 20.2 PPG in his career on 55.3% shooting.
Detroit Pistons – Andre Drummond – 8,055 Points

Just like the Hornets we spoke about earlier, the Detroit Pistons have had a terrible run over the last 10 years. Andre Drummond is best known for his role as one of the NBA’s best rebounders at his peak with Detroit. It turns out he has also been their best scorer.
Drummond played with Detroit for seven and a half seasons from 2012-13 thru 2019-20, with his rookie scoring totals playing no factor in our list today. While he was a monster rebounder with four rebounding titles to his name, he also became a solid contributor offensively. Drummond would have six straight 1,000-point seasons with the Pistons from 2014 thru 2019 on 53.9% shooting from the field. He averaged 14.9 PPG during this run and got most of his points within three feet of the basket and at the foul line.
From 2014 thru 2019, Drummond made over 130 free throws every year and hit at least 200 free throws three separate times as a 47.5% career shooter from the foul line.
Golden State Warriors – Stephen Curry – 16,711 Points

This has to be the most obvious scorer on the entire list. Over the last decade, we have watched Stephen Curry morph into the greatest three-point shooter the NBA has ever seen and absolutely torch the NBA in every way a player can torch an opponent. The 2014 season marked the beginning of a stretch that saw Curry win two MVP awards, including the NBA’s only unanimous one in 2016 as well as four NBA championships and a Finals MVP award in 2022.
Over this time, Curry would win two scoring titles but lead the NBA in total points just once in 2021. Curry has had eight seasons with at least 1,500 points during the last 10 years and two with at least 2,00 points. He has also led the NBA in three-pointers made six times during this stretch and has eclipsed 200 threes made eight times, 300 threes made four times, and 400 threes made once.
Curry has also done this on incredible shooting splits on the court. From 2014 thru 2022-23, he shot 47.8% overall, 42.3% from three (on 10.4 attempts per game), and 91.1% from the foul line. Let’s see if any other player has scored more for their respective franchise.
Houston Rockets – James Harden – 16,342 Points

During his peak as a player with the Houston Rockets, James Harden was easily one of the most lethal scores in the entire NBA. He was actually our leader for the player with the most points, rebounds, and assists over the last 10 seasons, and when you look at his production with the Houston Rockets, it was a big part of it.
The 2013-14 season was Harden’s second in Houston and the beginning of an insane scoring stretch not replicated since. From 2015 thru 2020, Harden had six consecutive 2,000-point seasons with Houston and led the NBA in total points four times, winning three scoring titles. During this time, Harden was an MVP and an eight-time All-Star with the Rockets.
Along with his ability to score from anywhere and get to the free-throw line at will, Harden was also among the best three-point shooters in the game. He led the NBA from 2018 thru 2020 in three-pointers made and recorded six seasons with at least 200 three-pointers made from 2014 thru 2020. Harden is a career 36.3% three-point shooter and 44.2% shooter overall in his career.
Indiana Pacers – Myles Turner – 6,598 Points

The Indiana Pacers have fought hard to remain relevant over the last decade, with numerous star players coming in and out of town during this time. One constant since the 2015-16 season has been the presence of big man Myles Turner, the franchise’s 11th overall pick in 2015. Turner is known as a streaky scorer but above-average defender and rebounder.
Over the last eight seasons in the NBA, Turner has averaged 13.4 PPG on 49.8% shooting from the field and 35.3% from three. Turner has recorded just two seasons with over 1,000 points which were his second season in 2017 and just this last season in 2022-23. Turner is the leader in this category by a wide margin, with the only two active Pacers players being T.J. McConnell and Buddy Hield, who are both under 2,000 points total in their Pacers careers.
It remains to be seen just how much longer Turner will remain with the team, but we have to believe that his record over the last decade will be broken in no time, even if it is the Pacers, right?
Los Angeles Clippers – Blake Griffin – 6,210 Points

This is how you know injuries have plagued the Clippers since 2019-20. Blake Griffin remains the Clippers’ leading scorer over the last decade with just four and a half seasons in their uniform from 2013-14 until now. On a team that includes two elite scorers in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, that just speaks to how much time they have both missed since arriving together in 2019.
Anyway, back to Griffin, who was at his absolute best as a player during these four and a half years. During this time, he averaged 22.3 PPG on 49.4% shooting from the floor and attempted less than 2.0 three-pointers per game. Griffin averaged 21.0 PPG or better in each of these seasons with Los Angeles and recorded four seasons with at least 1,000 points and just one season over 1,500. Paul George remains the closest active Clipper to Griffin’s 6,210 points with 4,378. Leonard is behind him with 4,074.
Los Angeles Lakers – LeBron James – 7,614 Points

LeBron James has been with the Lakers for just five seasons but sits atop this list for his torrid scoring over that time. James’ tenure with the Lakers includes the historic bucket he hit in 2022-23 to break Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time scoring record, as well as five seasons averaging 25.0 PPG or more.
James has reached the 1,500-point mark in four of the five seasons he has been there, including two seasons of over 1,600 points in 2020 and 2022. During this time, he has shot 50.7% from the field and 34.6% from three. Speaking of his three-point shooting, LeBron has knocked down 100 or more three-pointers in all five seasons he spent with the Lakers, including 148 threes the season he led the Lakers to the NBA title in 2020.
As it stands right now, James sits just 1,348 points from 40,000 points for his career. When he ultimately hits that mark, he will be the only player in NBA history to have done so while adding 10,000 rebounds and assists on top of it.
Memphis Grizzlies – Marc Gasol – 6,671 Points

Marc Gasol is a legend in the eyes of Memphis Grizzlies fans. He was one of the faces behind the Grit and Grind era and the all-time franchise leader in rebounds and blocks. Gasol was a three-time All-Star with Memphis in his career, with two of them coming between the 2014 and 2019 seasons we are speaking about today.
Between 2014 and 2019 with the Grizzlies, Gasol would record four 1,000-point seasons out of the six he had in his career. Although Gasol is a former Defensive Player of the Year, he knocked down his fair share of short jumpers and shots at the rim to make him the Grizzlies’ scoring leader over the last 10 seasons. Star point guard Ja Morant is the closest current Memphis player to Gasol’s point total with 5,557 points.
Miami Heat – Goran Dragic – 6,348 Points

For the time being, Goran Dragic is the Miami Heat’s leading scorer over the last 10 seasons by a slight margin over both Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler. Dragic played for the Heat from 2015 thru 2021, earning an All-Star selection in 2018 and helping them reach the NBA Finals in 2020.
During this time period, Dragic would have the best offensive output of his career. He had three consecutive 1,000-point seasons from 2016 thru 2018. He would also record three seasons with at least 100 three-pointers made on 36.5% shooting from beyond the arc. Dragic’s scoring amounted to 16.2 PPG over the course of these six-and-a-half seasons on 45.7% shooting from the field.
For Dragic to still be leading the Heat in scoring over two seasons since he left Miami says a ton about what he meant to the Heat during his tenure and just how underrated he was for that period of time during the Heat’s rebuild to where they are now.
Milwaukee Bucks – Giannis Antetokounmpo – 16,280 Points

Giannis Antetokounmpo joins James Harden and Stephen Curry as the third player so far on our list to score at least 16,000 points with one team over the last 10 seasons. Since 2014, we have seen Giannis develop into one of the best players in the world with a Most Improved Player award, seven All-Star appearances, two MVPS, one Defensive Player of the Year award, and an NBA championship with a Finals MVP in 2021.
Giannis has recorded at least 1,000 points every season since his second year in the NBA in 2015. He also had seven straight 1,500-point seasons from 2017 to the present day, with two seasons over 2,000 points as well. In 2018, Giannis recorded a career-high 2,014 points on the season as well as 2,002 points in 2022.
During this time, Giannis has shot 53.7% from the floor overall and a less-than-ideal 28.7% from three. As a post player, in fast breaks, and with a head of steam from the perimeter, there is no more dangerous scorer in the NBA right now than Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Minnesota Timberwolves – Karl-Anthony Towns – 11,772 Points

If you ask Karl-Anthony Towns, he would tell you that he changed the game when he arrived in 2015-16 as the Minnesota Timberwolves first overall pick. While that may be ridiculous, it also rings true in a few areas. Towns is one of the best big man three-point shooters in NBA history but is also a threat to score from anywhere else on the court, as he has displayed soft touch from all angles and spots at times.
Towns has been a 1,000-point scorer in five of his eight seasons in the NBA, with his lone 2,000-point season coming in 2017. Towns also had six straight seasons with at least 100 three-pointers made from 2017 thru 2022 while shooting 39.5% from three for his career and 52.6% overall.
The power shift has begun in Minnesota with Anthony Edwards; emergence as their clear franchise star of the future. Currently, Edwards sits just under 7,000 points behind Towns for the franchise lead among active players. He should be able to catch up, especially if Towns is traded in the next year or so.
New Orleans Pelicans – Anthony Davis – 10,192 Points

Although he hasn’t been in a Pelicans uniform since the 2018-19 season, Anthony Davis has maintained his lead as the New Orleans Pelicans’ leading scorer over the last 10 years. Davis played with New Orleans for seven seasons from 2013 thru 2019. Davis was an All-Star for New Orleans in all six seasons from 2014 thru 2019 as well.
From 2014 thru 2019, Davis played 402 games with New Orleans, averaging 25.4 PPG on 51.7% shooting from the field. Davis recorded over 1,000 points in each one of these six seasons, with back-to-back 2,000-point seasons in 2017 and 2018. Davis was dominant in the paint but also began to step further and further away from the basket to get his points, developing a smooth jumper to add to his repertoire.
To put things in perspective, Davis has had just two 1,000-point seasons since joining the Lakers in 2019-20 and only one season with over 1,500 points.
New York Knicks – Julius Randle – 6,343 Points

The New York Knicks have had some of the worst luck in the NBA over the last 10 seasons. After all, this is a team that has spent $3 billion since 1999 and hasn’t been back to the NBA Finals. Julius Randle joined the Knicks in 2019-20 as a free agent and has ascended to the top as their top scorer during this time.
Since joining the Knicks, Randle has averaged 20.0 PPG or more in three of those seasons and earned two All-Star selections as well as a Most Improved Player award. Randle has been a 1,000-point scorer every year he has spent with the Knicks and has eclipsed 1,500 points twice. Randle has shot 44.7% from the field as well. Randle has especially opened up his game from three-point range. Over the last three seasons, Randle has knocked down over 100 threes each season, with a career-high 218 falling down in 2022-23.
Oklahoma City Thunder – Russell Westbrook – 11,027 Points

Russell Westbrook may just be the greatest player to ever wear an Oklahoma City Thunder uniform. He is a former MVP and two-time scoring champion with the team, both of which fall within the 2014-2019 time period he spent with them that we are speaking about today. Westbrook led the NBA in scoring in 2015 and 2017, with Oklahoma City averaging over 20.0 PPG once in 2017.
Westbrook’s six seasons with the Thunder between 2014 and 2019 come with a whole lot of scoring. He had five seasons in a row of at least 1,500 points scored from 2015 thru 2019 as well as back-to-back 2,000-point seasons in 2017 and 2018. He did this while shooting 43.6% from the field overall and just 31.0% from three. Despite his low efficiency from three, Westbrook knocked down 100 or more threes a total of three times from 2014 thru 2019 and 200 threes during the 2017 MVP campaign.
Westbrook’s days of leading the NBA in scoring may be over, but it’s almost as if this version of him never existed the way fans treat him today. Hopefully, this served as a reminder as to just how dominant he was at the time.
Orlando Magic – Nikola Vucevic – 9,415 Points

When it comes to teams who have struggled mightily with continuity on their roster over the last 10 years, the Orlando Magic is right towards the top of the list. Vucevic was a member of the Orlando Magic from 2013 thru part of 2021 before being traded to the Bulls. Vucevic was a consistent double-double player with two All-Star selections during the time period we are referring to.
From 2014 thru part of 2021, Vucevic would have seven 1,000-point seasons with the Magic, which includes 2021, before being dealt to Chicago. Vucevic averaged 18.5 PPG during this time and shot the ball at 49.5% overall and 25.8% from three on less than 2.5 attempts. Vucevic was never a dominant scorer per se, but with Orlando, he had no problems lighting the scoreboard up when called upon.
Philadelphia 76ers – Joel Embiid – 10,718 Points

It should be no surprise that Joel Embiid is the Philadelphia 76ers’ leading scorer over the last decade. Embiid has been one of the most dominant scorers in the entire game, winning back-to-back scoring titles in 2022 and 2023, and the first center to win even one scoring title since Shaq in 2002.
Embiid has been a threat from all three levels with the Sixers since making his debut in 2016-17. Since coming back from the foot injuries that left him out for the first two years of his career, Embiid has recorded nothing but 1,000-point and 20.0 PPG seasons since taking the court. With a career 50.1% shooting percentage and 33.7% shooting from three, Embiid has become one of the top 10 players in the game today and an MVP in 2023.
Embiid recorded the only 2,000-point seasons of his career in 2022-23, the two seasons he walked away with the scoring title. In 2023, he led the NBA in made shots overall and made two-point shots to record his career-high of 2,183 points in a season. Surprisingly enough, in both years that he won the scoring title for PPG, he did not lead the NBA in total points scored.
Phoenix Suns – Devin Booker – 12,668 Points

Devin Booker’s evolution as a scorer in the NBA has been fast and furious over the last several seasons he has spent in Phoenix. Booker erupted as a young man with a 70-point game against Boston in 2017 and ever since that moment, has only improved his game. Armed with a smooth mid-range jumper and relentless attack on the basket, Booker has poured in over 12,000 points for the Suns since 2015-16.
Booker has steadily increased his scoring output every season he has been in the NBA until a 2023 season marred by injuries stopped the streak. The three-time All-Star has been a 1,000-point scorer every season of his career and has eclipsed 1,5000 points five times. Booker has also done his fair share of work from three. While shooting 46.1% overall and 35.6% from three, Booker has knocked down 100 or more threes every season since 2016-17, accounting for 2,970 of his total points.
Portland Trail Blazers – Damian Lillard – 17,814 Points

No player in the last 10 seasons has done more for the Portland Trail Blazers than Damian Lillard. From his unlimited range as a shooter to his clutch moments to his sneaky moves through the paint and to the basket, Damian Lillard has lit up just about every opponent he has faced. Lillard comes in as the leading scorer for one franchise on our list over the last 10 seasons and the first with over 17,000 points.
Well, we all know about Lillard’s work from three as one of the top shooting point guards ever. Since 2014, Lillard has had eight seasons with at least 2000 three-pointers made while shooting 37.3% from three. He has also shot 44.0% overall while attempting an average of 18.9 shots per game. Lillard has recorded 1,500 points or more in all but one season over the last 10 as well as 2,000-point seasons in 2017 and 2019.
Lillard is currently the Trail Blazers’ all-time leading scorer and three-point shooter, but that count is likely to end where it is. After 11 seasons with the team, Lillard has requested a trade out of Portland, prompting a frenzy of teams trying to acquire his services.
Sacramento Kings – De’Aaron Fox – 7,974 Points

In 2023, we witnessed the first playoff game in 17 seasons that featured the Sacramento Kings. A big reason for that was the continued development and blossoming of De’Aaron Fox into a star. As one of the quickest players in the game today, Fox has made a habit of lighting up the scoreboard on fast breaks and by creating his own shots in half-court sets.
Fox joined the Kings in 2017-18 after being selected as their fifth overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. Since that time, Fox has recorded five 1,000-point seasons while shooting 47.2% from the floor overall and 32.1% from three. Fox has had only two seasons in which he has reached 100 three-pointers made and 2023 became the first season he eclipsed 1,500 points when he logged a career-high 1,826 points in 73 games.
Fox continues to make his way up the Kings’ franchise ladder and if he can deliver some playoff success, he will propel himself to even higher heights. The 2022-23 season was the season for him to build off of as he averaged 25.0 PPG and became an All-Star and All-NBA Team selection for the very first time.
San Antonio Spurs – LaMarcus Aldridge – 7,325 Points

Since the departure of Kawhi Leonard in 2018, the San Antonio Spurs have been desperately trying to get back to their championship ways of the past. One of the moves they made in order to try and speed up that process was acquiring LaMarcus Aldridge in 2015. Aldridge would spend five and a half seasons with the Spurs from that time forth, becoming their leading scorer over the last decade.
Aldridge was not this dominant scorer at all times, but when he got going, he could hardly miss with his short jumpers and shots from the post. Aldridge was a 1.000-points scorer in every season he played in San Antonio which included back-to-back seasons of over 1,700 points in 2018 and 2019. Aldridge shot over 50.0% from the floor during his time with the team, showing just how efficient he could be.
Toronto Raptors – Kyle Lowry – 9,749 Points

Any real NBA or Toronto Raptors fan knows just how much Kyle Lowry meant to the Toronto Raptors during his nine seasons with the team from 2013 thru 2021. Lowry’s streak from 2014 thru 2021 with the Raptors included an NBA championship in 2019 as well as six All-Star selections and an All-NBA Team selection in 2016.
From 2014 through the 2021 season, Lowry would reach the 1,000-point mark six times and the 1,500-point mark once. He would also drain at least 100 threes every season he was in Toronto as well as 200 threes twice in 2018 and 2018. Lowry shot 37.7% from three during that time as well as 42.5% overall, making it the most efficient stop he has made in his career over the course of 17 seasons in the NBA.
Utah Jazz – Donovan Mitchell – 8,234 Points

Since the days of Karl Malone and John Stockton, the Utah Jazz have pretty much been a lock to have a great regular season, only to follow things up by completely falling apart in the regular season. No player experienced this more in his Jazz career than Donovan Mitchell. While Mitchell was with the Jazz from 2018 thru 2022, he became one of the best shooting guards in the NBA with a scoring average of 23.9 PPG and three All-Star selections to his name.
Mitchell’s five seasons allowing him to top this list for Utah shows just how much trouble they have been in as a franchise. In those five seasons, Mitchell reached 1,500 points all but once during that time while shooting 44.8% overall and 36.5% from three. During this time, Mitchell truly did show his range as both a shooter from the outside and an athletic finisher at the rim. Mitchell made over 170 threes in each of his five seasons with Utah and in 2022, he knocked down 232 threes which was his career-high until 2023 when he hit over 240 with the Cavaliers.
Mitchell was never able to get the Jazz past the second round of the NBA playoffs but his game on the court spoke for itself. There were legitimate conversations about him being one of the greatest players in Utah Jazz history even with just five years under his belt with the franchise.
Washington Wizards – Bradley Beal – 14,611 Points

The final player on our list for the Washington Wizards is a player that has just found a new home after 11 seasons with the team. Bradley Beal joined the Wizards in 2012-13 after becoming their third overall pick in the 2012 draft. Over the years, Beal would grow into his role with the team and become one of the best scorers in the entire NBA.
Since 2013-14, Beal has recorded seven 1,000-point seasons, five 1,500-point seasons, and one 2,000-point season. Overall, Beal has been pretty efficient during this time, shooting 46.3% overall and 37.1% from three. Beal would have back-to-back 30.0 PPG seasons in 2020 and 2021, challenging for the NBA’s scoring title both times. He also had 100 or more threes made in eight of those 10 seasons and over 200 threes made twice.
Now that his time is over in Washington, Beal brings his torrid scoring to Phoenix alongside Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, which could make for one of the most potent offenses not only in 2023-24 but possibly ever.
