The rankings are by peak adjusted efficiency (ADJeff) for the 2023-2024 season. This ranking takes into account player efficiency rating adjusted for strength of schedule and a few other factors. Efficiency is simply a statistical impact per possession. One aspect to be aware of in talking about efficiency is that most elite post players usually perform better in the metric. This makes sense as they typically have higher true shooting percentages from getting easier shots closer to the rim.
Having players that score higher efficiency points, rebound, and block shots at higher levels is highly important in the game. It always has been a game dominated by mostly bigger humans of which there are fewer. Finding those players is important on any team.
