4. Steph Curry, Golden State Warriors

2018-19 stats: 27.3 points, 5.2 assists, 5.3 rebounds

There is definitely going to be some people out there that don’t like the fact Steph Curry is fourth on this list. But frankly, I think he has changed the game for the worst with the 3-point shot. That is a discussion for another day, but regardless of his high usage of the three, Curry is still one of the best point guards in the game.

He is the centerpiece of the Golden State Warriors and over the years, he has developed into more of an all-around player who can pass the ball well and get to the rim instead of always looking for the open shot from downtown.

His 43.7 percent clip from long-range led the NBA last season, but on 11.7 attempts per game, only second behind Harden’s 13.2 attempts. Curry has changed the game with the 3-point shot as more teams and more players throughout the college and professional level are taking these shots at a higher clip than ever. Good or bad? I’ll let you choose.

Regardless, Curry is one of the most decorated players in the NBA today and is still a top point guard in this league despite being just 6-foot-3.
