When you think of transition offense in the NBA, names like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Lebron James are the first to come to mind and for good reason. Giannis and Lebron rank #1 and #2 in the league in transition possessions per game; they both seek out fastbreak opportunities like Payton Pritchard seeks out three-point attempts in meaningless end-of-season games (not hating, I love Pritchard’s confidence).
Jaylen Brown is close with the 4th most transition possessions per game, and Tatum sits a bit further back at 15th.
But, more important than the number of possessions is the effectiveness of those possessions, right?
