1.) Stephen Curry

As the two-time MVP and leader of the record-setting 73-win Golden State Warriors, Steph Curry is the best point guard in the NBA.

Yeah, the Westbrook apologists are crying at their computer, but Curry is the best point in the league. Arguably the greatest shooter to ever play the game, Curry is the Steve Nash of the early 2000’s on steroids.

Averaging over 30 points, six assists, and two steals a game, Curry was the first player in NBA history to win the MVP award unanimously. Now, he enters the season with one of the best surrounding casts an MVP has ever had.

An underrated player on the defensive end, Curry is back as arguably the league’s best player.
