Tier No. 1

The No. 1 tier is a two-man show with Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry clearly leading the way for the Dubs.

Kevin Durant

Durant has been dynamic to start the season. He’s averaging 26.8 points per game and is doing so while averaging a career-high in assists per game. Also with a career-high true shooting percentage, Durant’s been an all-around performer this season.

Durant is arguably an MVP candidate to kick the season off. He’s been terrific and is one of the reason’s the Dubs have started 10-2.

Stephen Curry

The league’s leading scorer, Curry has proven yet again why he was the league’s unanimous MVP a few seasons ago. This season, so far, he’s arguably having a better season than that MVP campaign during the 2015-2016 season.

Over six assists per game and five threes per game, Curry’s been the leader of the Warriors and continues to spearhead the league’s most dynamic offense.
