2019 NBA Playoffs: Ranking the 5 Most Important Players

4. Stephen Curry

As we’ve come to expect from the NBA’s best Point Guard, Stephen Curry had yet another outstanding season in 2018-19. He had the second highest scoring output of his career, averaging 27.3 points per night.

Cleveland Cavaliers v Golden State Warriors

Perhaps most impressive is his fantastic shooting from 3 on very high volume, shooting just under 44% on 11.7 attempts per game. His stat line is among the most well-rounded in the game today, averaging 5.3 rebounds, and 5.2 assists on the year.

As part of the NBA’s best team, Curry has already won 3 titles in the past 4 seasons. The only reason he isn’t higher on this list is that he has excellent teammates who can pick up the slack if he isn’t 100 percent. Nevertheless, if Curry has the playoffs that he is capable of, the Warriors are a near lock for the title.
