With a 50-10 record, despite the fact that Kevin Durant will miss the next four weeks with a sprained MCL (he’s expected back for the playoffs), the Warriors are (presumably) well on their way to another NBA Finals appearance.

While this assessment may not come as a surprise to you, maybe the fact that among usage% leaders, only one Warrior is in the top 20 at 29.1% – the man pictured above. Durant, the team’s leading scorer at 25.7 PPG, doesn’t even appear in the top 20.

Oh, and did I mention that the Warriors’ fifth leading scorer is averaging 6.4 PPG? 6. POINT. 4.

Bottom line: the Warriors are good at basketball.
