NBA 2018-19: Top 10 point guards going into the new season

#1 Stephen Curry

Golden State Warriors v New York Knicks

Since Kevin Durant's free agency signing with the Warriors, however, basketball fans around the world have been essentially robbed of the opportunity to watch the unanimous MVP version of his game, which might have led them to believe that he is on the wane if they weren't watching the games.

The 2-time MVP is at the peak of his powers currently, as evidenced by his career-high true shooting percentage of 67.5% through 50-odd regular season games in 2017-18. If this singular stat isn't enough to convince you, here's another: Curry's offensive rating of 120.6 is the highest of his career. It's better than the 118.1 he achieved in 2016-17 or the 116.7 he achieved in his 2015-16 season.

Expect him to be a fringe MVP contender this season. Fringe only because of the presence of another MVP on his team.
