Top 5 Power Forwards In The 2023 Season

5. Aaron Gordon

Aaron Gordon, or Air Gordon, has been a crucial player for the Nuggets in the past seasons. Finally a champion, he deserves his spot in the top 5 power forwards in the league. This season he averaged: 16.3 ppg and 6.6 rebounds on 56% FG.

4. Julius Randle

Julius Randle is an athletic big man that only stands at 6 foot 8 while being able to shoot the ball. Being the leader of the Knicks prior to the start of the season, he was welcomed by Jalen Brunson as a backup. Soon after Jalen Brunson showed that he wasn't no sidekick, but Julius Randle led the team in scoring. He averaged 25.1 ppg, 10 rebounds and 4.1 assists.

3. Lauri Markkanen

Lauri came to the NBA as a comparison to the greatest European big men. Dirk, Kristaps, Jokic, but couldn't manage to get his minutes in. Traded in the 2022 off-season to the Jazz, he showed his worth, leading Utah to a 10-2 start to the season. He averaged 25.6 ppg and 8.6 rebounds while shooting 49.9% FG and 39.1% from three.

2. Jaren Jackson Jr.

The DPOY of the 2023 NBA season, JJJ. He has been an important player with a defensive role on the Grizzlies for the past seasons. Most importantly, Jaren Jackson is set to be an all time shot blocker if he continues at the rate he is going. This season he put up 18.6 ppg, 6.8 rebounds and an impressive 3 blocks per game.

1. Giannis Antetokounmpo

Of course, Giannis topped our list. He averaged 31.1 ppg, 11.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and almost a block and a steal per game. Just incredible. Giannis has been known to be a force on both ends of the court. Add that to his staggering frame and height, he is an athletic prodigy, and for a reason. Although he didn't play as many games as usual in the regular season, and that the Bucks got eliminated by the 8th seed in the first round of the playoffs, Giannis is still a force of nature and would take on any of the players in the league easily. That is why we take him as numero uno.
