Building the NBA's All-Efficiency Team

Efficiency is the name of the game in today's NBA, and there are some astonishingly streamlined stat machines roaming the court in 2014-15.

If you were to put together a team comprised of the most efficient players at each position, who would make the cut?

There isn't one all-encompassing statistic that indicates who generates the most positive production with the least amount of waste. However, there are some key metrics that give a good illustration.

To form our team, we took a look at several different efficiency statistics. They include player efficiency rating (PER), efficiency rating per 48 minutes (EFF), true shooting percentage (TS%) and traditional statistics such as turnovers and fouls.

For some positions, we focused more on certain production areas than others (for example, assist-to-turnover ratios for point guards and defensive efficiency for big men).

Who are the most systematically productive players in the Association? Check out our eye-popping All-Efficiency rotation.
