Only lower than Jordan Chamberlain! Doncic averaged 28.6 points per game in his career, which is higher than James Durant

Among active players, James and Durant are undoubtedly the two top super scorers. Their total career scores have exceeded 40,000 points and 30,000 points respectively. James has already become the historical scoring leader. In terms of career scoring averages, James and Durant both exceeded 27 points, ranking at the forefront of history.

Ten years ago, James and Durant also led all active players in career scoring averages. Except for them, everyone else averaged less than 27 points per game, and Durant was slightly higher than James. But now, there are two players who have averaged more points per game in their career than both of them. These two players are Doncic and Embiid.

In the past few seasons, Doncic and Embiid are undoubtedly the players with the most explosive scoring power. Embiid has won the scoring title for two consecutive years, and Doncic has also won a scoring title. Moreover, both of them have scored 70+ points in a single game, setting new single-game scoring records for active players.

In terms of points per game during the season, Embiid has averaged 33.1 points per game, and Doncic has also averaged 33.9 points per game. Among active players, they are second only to Harden, who has averaged 36.1 points and 34.3 points per game. In addition, Embiid averaged 35.9 points per game in another season, but he only played 39 games due to injury, so he missed the scoring title.

It is precisely because of their strong scoring abilities that Doncic and Embiid have very high career scoring averages, reaching 28.6 points and 27.7 points respectively. Not only do they surpass James and Durant, they are also among the best in history, ranking third and fourth respectively, second only to Jordan and Chamberlain, two super scorers who averaged more than 30 points per game in their careers and have won the scoring title for 7 consecutive years.

However, although Doncic and Embiid are both very capable of scoring, they have played less than 500 games in their careers. Compared with James and Durant, the number of games played is still far behind. Embiid, in particular, has been in the NBA for 11 years, but his attendance rate is very low and he has missed a large number of games. His current number of appearances is similar to that of Doncic, who entered the NBA in 2018, and has only played two more games. So even though his scoring average is very high, his career total points are not very high.
