This graph is courtesy of Thinking Basketball’s 2023-24 player stats, I’m a deluxe member of his patron so I get access to this stuff.
This graph shows points scored per 75 possessions on the X axis (sorry it’s cut off) and relative true shooting on the Y axis.
TL;DR? The further to the top right that you are, the better you are as a scorer.
And ofc here’s the list of initials shown here:
JT – Jayson Tatum
JB – Jaylen Brown
KP – Kristaps Porzingis
SC – Stephen Curry (who else would be up there lol?)
PG – Paul George
NJ – Nikola Jokic
DM – Donovan Mitchel
LD – Luka Doncic
JE – Joel Embiid
DF – De’Aaron Fox
KD – Kevin Durant
AE (right next to KD) – Anthony Edwards
GA – Giannis Antentokoumpo
KL – Kawhi Leonard
LJ – Lebron James
AD (slightly covered by LJ) – Anthony Davis
And covered by AD is Dame.

Sample size is just too small rn to determine anything. Tatum has been stellar, Brown a lil more inconsistent. But these types of graphs are a lot more telling 25 games+ into the season and guys settle in.
