Who are the players that you would consider to be the biggest ball hogs in the NBA right now? A ball hog, according to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_hog), is a derisive term for a basketball player who handles the ball exclusively to the point of impairing the team.

GTJ passing the ball is an extraordinary sight.
Dillion Brooks, Marcus Morris, Terry Rozier and Bones Hyland the main four that come to my mind.
Love him til death but Jrue is a fucking ball hog who always forces his shots regardless of the difficulty
Our series loss against Miami can’t be more of a frustrating representation of him trying to force everything to himself. Even if he’s cold, dude won’t stop bricking shots and muscle up defenders with his sloppy dribbling to go inside.
Hope AG will finally make him accountable for his actions as Bud was just previously watching him to melt from throwing offensive disasters
Kelly Oubre

Maybe not a ball hog but Donovan Mitchell is super ball dominant and seems to have two gears
Mitchell-ball
Irrelevant
Jalen Green
De’aaron fox is crazy, especially in end game, you know that guy is never letting ball out of his hands
If Gary Trent Jr gets the ball, it’s unlikely someone else is touching it until the next offensive possession.
D’Angelo Russell has tunnel vision at times that’s incredibly frustrating to watch.
Jordan Poole has a high asf usage rate despite playing only 30 minutes a game and being the warriors 3rd or 4th best player

Here’s a data-driven article that discusses the nuances of just that question.

Jordan Clarkson is a black 🕳️
Luka
Klay has never seen a shot he didn’t like
I’m surprised more people haven’t mentioned Klay. The dude takes a shot every time he touches the ball.
MICHAEL “NEVA SWING THE ROCK” PORTER JR.
Luka Doncic
Cam Thomas, doesn’t help that dude is a vegetable off ball too.
Some of you didn’t suffer trough Will” the thrill” Barton disease in Denver and it shows.
If the ball accidentally get in his hands in clutch moments he literally transforms himself in “Mamba” from Wish and chucks dumbest brick possible.
Julius Randle
Harden ( Mr. Dribble ) he dribbled out the 24sec shot clock against Boston. Not making this shit up
Clearly this sub haven’t watched the young guards from Rockets for the last 2 seasons, they’re not ballhogs, they’re blackhole vacuum when the ball touches their hands
Dillon “1 for 14” Brooks
