9. Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors

Position: Point Guard
Age: 28 (3/14/1988)
Experience: 8th Season
2016-17 Slash Line: .464/.404/.917
2016-17 Season Averages: 33.6 MPG, 24.6 PPG, 6.2 APG, 4.2 RPG, 1.7 SPG, 3.9 3PM

The Golden State Warriors are the most dominant team in the NBA. At 39-7 through 46 games, the Warriors have the best record in the Association and a league-best margin of victory of 12.7 points per game.

Kevin Durant has been the best individual player on the Warriors, but two-time MVP Stephen Curry has been nothing short of explosive.

Curry began this past week with 24 points and seven assists in an important 125-108 win over the Houston Rockets. He then posted 27 points and six assists in just 30 minutes during a win over the Orlando Magic.

Curry struggled during the loss to the Miami Heat, but bounced back with 28 points and six assists during a 113-103 road win over Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Hornets.

Curry is one of five players averaging at least 24.0 points and 6.0 assists per game during the 2016-17 NBA regular season. The only other players on that list are ranked in the Top 6 on the Player Power Rankings.

Curry’s numbers may not be as gaudy as they were a season ago, but he remains one of the league’s truly elite players.
