Top 5 shooters that Stephen Curry has played with in the NBA

#3 D'Angelo Russell

D'Angelo Russell was in All-Star form during his time with the Brooklyn Nets

D'Angelo Russell joined the Warriors lineup as part of a trade with the Brooklyn Nets that saw them receive Kevin Durant. Russell was coming off a season with Brooklyn, where the franchise had made it to the playoffs and Russell had been selected as an All-Star.

In the 2019-20 season, D'Angelo Russell averaged 23.6 points with 6.2 assists for the Warriors. He did this while shooting 43% from the field and 37.4% from behind the three-point line of 9.7 threes attempted per game.

Russell didn't get to play much alongside Curry. Steph had only played five games in the 2019-20 season due to injury, but Russell really produced some great numbers for the Warriors.

Unfortunately, due to inconsistency with the team and the losing record for the Warriors, he was put on the chopping block and traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Andrew Wiggins.

While currently playing for Minnesota, Russell averaged 19 points and 5.8 assists while shooting 38.7% from three-point territory in the 2020-21 season.

#2 Kevin Durant

Kevin Durant is one of the most prolific scorers of all time

Kevin Durant is one of the greatest offensive forces the league has ever seen. The Golden State Warriors signed a multi-year deal with the superstar in 2016.

Durant joining the Warriors made them one of the strongest teams in the history of the league. Coming off of a finals loss to the Cavaliers, Golden State looked set to avenge their disappointing finish to the 73-9 regular-season record they had set.

Durant was with the Warriors for three seasons. Golden State were NBA Champions in two of those seasons. A big part of their loss in the 2019 NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors was due to Kevin Durant's injury.

Durant's offensive versatility allowed him to fit in with any system and he flourished with the Warriors. Over the course of three seasons, Durant averaged 25.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.4 assists, all while shooting 52.4% from the field. Durant also recorded 38.4% from beyond the arc while attempting 5.4 threes a game.

After the loss in the 2019 Finals, Durant was traded to the Brooklyn Nets for D'Angelo Russell, Treveon Graham and Shabazz Napier. He averaged 26.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.6 assists for the Nets in the 2020-21 season.

#1 Klay Thompson

Klay Thompson is one of the most lethal three-point shooters in the NBA

Klay Thompson is the best shooter Stephen Curry has played with. Together, the two of them are a big part of why the Golden State Warriors became a dynasty. Drafted in 2011 by the Warriors, Klay Thompson developed into one of the best 3-and-D players in the history of this game.

The duo of Thompson and Curry became a nightmare for the league. The two of them could shoot lights out from the three-point line on any given day. This earned the tandem the nickname "Splash Brothers."

With Thompson developing the way he did, the Warriors became champions in the 2014 NBA Finals and established the start of their dynasty. This was Thompson's third NBA season.

Thompson has put up some incredible and unreal statlines, including his 37 points in a single quarter. For his career, Thompson averages 19.5 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while shooting 45.9% from the field and 41.9% from beyond the arc.

Coming off of a severe injury sustained in the 2019 Finals and an achilles injury in 2020, Klay Thompson looks set to make a return to Golden State after almost two years of not playing.
