Judging from the preseason games, next season's Warriors may return to the "picturesque" way of playing a few years ago — constantly passing the ball, constantly running without the ball, covering. The reason they got back to this state is because they have reinforced some excellent pitchers, some players with extremely high ball quotients, and the DNP has the immature rookies. Of course, the most important thing is their absolute leader, Stephen Curry, himself a "picturesque" player. So counting Stephen Curry, what other players in the NBA today play "picturesque"?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > Carey Owen</h1>
Last season, Irving averaged 26.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, and six assists per game. In terms of efficiency, Kyrie Irving's performance is also at the top of the league. With a shooting percentage of 50.6 percent (a career high), 40.2 percent from three-point range and 92.2 percent from the free throw line, he is the ninth "180 club" player in NBA history.
In the mid-range zone, Irving's shooting rate can reach a terrifying 55%, of which the long two-point shooting rate is as high as 57%, which perfectly fits the definition of the phrase "offense without dead ends". But maybe because he's so talented, we always have high expectations of him, and he gladly didn't put too much energy into basketball, which may be the state of life he really wants.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > Stephen Curry</h1>
Curry has maintained a very good performance in recent seasons (except for the injured pendulum season), so that people are accustomed to his performance, and if he had not played so well last season, no one would have served him so much praise.
Last season he broke the record wildly, becoming the oldest leading scorer and the leading scorer in Warriors history, setting a new three-point record in league history for a single season and averaging three-point shots per game. What's more, he continued the exquisite cooperation with "Dream Chaser" Green, and there are statistics that green has assisted Curry 194 points in one season, which is higher than the number of assists for any pair in the league.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > Zach-Lavin</h1>
Before coming to the Chicago Bulls, LaVine was no longer a pure "dunkman", he took his offensive skills to a very high level and took on a lot of ball possession, averaging nearly 10 points per game in his first three seasons with the Bulls.
His handsome face, combined with his dashing style, is pleasing to the eye, and last season he shot 8.7 dry jumpers per game with the ball, shooting 40.2%. The number of blocks has also increased a lot, averaging 12 blocks per game, almost the same level as Trae Young. What's more, LaVine's passing skills are also exquisite, often attracting defenses and giving assists to teammates through wonderful offensive techniques.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > Paul George</h1>
Paul George has been the subject of ridicule over the past few years, with almost everyone making fun of his performance in key moments, and last season, he proved himself (especially in the playoffs), which has given fans hope for the Clippers that lost Leonard.
When he was in good health, he was the most reliable offensive point for the whole team except for the super giant Leonard. With his silky projection and enhanced impact on the paint and improved his dominance of the ball, Paul George has surpassed everyone's expectations of what kind of player he can be, and it's time to compliment him — he's one of the most important players to help the Los Angeles Clippers rise to the throne.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > Carl-Anthony Downs</h1>
Towns has the ideal interior height, long arms and vertical height, and athletic ability beyond most of the players in the same position, he is also the best space center in the league, from 2018 to 2020, Downs has never shot less than 40% of the three-point shooting rate, last season's three-point shooting rate can reach nearly 39%, which is the most important reason why he is stronger than so many centers.
Judging from the basic offensive statistics alone, you really think that this is a player of the same rank as Curry and Leonard. His back-to-back attack ratio is second only to Embiid and Jokic in the league, and other offensive methods, including secondary offense and switching offense, are at the top of the same position. And he weighs less than the two big gods of the center world in the active duty, so the ball looks more ethereal and agile.
