Field goal percentage is one of the most important stats to determine a basketball player's efficiency. Sacramento's Omri Casspi has excelled in that regard.

Among qualified small forwards, Casspi ranks fourth in percentage of shots made this season. He is behind San Antonio's Kawhi Leonard, Phoenix's T.J. Warren and Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant. More surprising, however, are the players he ranks ahead of. Casspi is shooting .506 on the year --which is better than LeBron James (.501%), Paul George (.434%) and Carmelo Anthony (.416%) this season. 

While his shooting percentage has not translated to points per game (Casspi averages just 12.0, coompared with Durant's 27.0 or George's 26.2), but his smart play is still nothing to scoff at.
