6. Chris Paul

Paul's scoring punch has never been less powerful, but the 38-year-old continues making consistently smart decisions that help his team. The days of the Dubs nosediving when Stephen Curry needs a breather are finished. In fact, there's hardly a difference in the net differentials of Curry (plus-1.2) and Paul (plus-0.3), per NBA.com.

5. Andrew Wiggins

A couple months back, this ranking would've felt way too high. Now, it's hard to tell if it's high enough, which hopefully makes it just right. It's been a rough shooting season for Wiggins, and his activity level hasn't always been there, but when he delivers—which he has with much more frequency of late—he makes a substantial impact at both ends.

4. Klay Thompson

Thompson's 17.3 points are his fewest in a decade-plus, his 38.0 three-point percentage is the worst of his career and his minus-1.0 box plus/minus is lower than it's been since his rookie year, per Basketball-Reference. And yet, he's still been the Warriors' second-leading scorer and the threat of his three-point shot remains a gravitational pull on defenders to lure them away from Stephen Curry. Plus, Thompson deserves an extra nod for handling his shifts from the starting group to the reserve unit without a hitch.

3. Draymond Green

The second spot would probably be Green's if he didn't force his way off the floor so often. Still, it's a testament to his talent that he lands No. 3 despite suiting up just 50 times so far. He ties everything together on defense and remains the primary passer in the starting lineup. He's even hitting 38.5 percent of his perimeter shots. When he plays, he typically means as much to this team as anyone not named Stephen Curry.

2. Jonathan Kuminga

This might be a touch aggressive considering how (frustratingly) long it took for Kuminga to start seeing major minutes, but his second-half surge—combined with the lack of real competition here—feels worthy of this honor. Since becoming a full-time starter on Jan. 27, he has averaged 19.1 points on 52.7 percent shooting while serving as one of this squad's best on-ball defenders.

1. Stephen Curry

Curry isn't having a particularly great season by his own astronomic standards—his 20.3 player efficiency rating is his worst since 2010-11, per Basketball-Reference—but his place atop the franchise food chain remains unchallenged. No Warrior comes close to putting as much stress on opposing defenses as Curry does.
