Arguably the best shooter in the game right now, Stephen Curry is a top player in the Pacific Division. Curry has the ability to quickly recognize mistakes defenders make and counter in that split second. His quick and accurate shooting makes him the most dangerous player beyond the arc.
A point guard who can shoot is different from a shooting point guard. Curry takes shots when necessary, but he always looks for his teammates first, and his playmaking ability makes all players around him better.
Curry had a breakout season, shattering Ray Allen’s NBA record for the most three-point shots made in a single season. He has established himself as an elite point guard in the game.
