Oct 15, 2026
4.7% turnover rate
Tim Hardaway Jr. took 779 shots, made 224 threes and scored 1,079 points for Denver in 2025-26 with just 43 turnovers, the lowest turnover percentage of any qualified player.
A full point clear
Boston’s Sam Hauser was second at 5.4, Saddiq Bey third at 5.8 and Rui Hachimura fourth at 6.3. Nobody else on the qualified board got under 5.4.
Real volume, not hiding
Hardaway used 18.5% of Denver’s possessions on the floor, more than Hauser (14.5) or Hachimura (15.2), and still protected the ball better than anyone.
Career-best shooting too
He shot .447 from the field, .407 from three on 550 attempts and .811 at the line for a .624 true-shooting mark, averaging 13.5 points in 26.6 minutes.
Next stop: Miami
Hardaway signed a one-year deal with the Heat in July and will wear his father’s No. 10. He finished third in Sixth Man of the Year voting.
