Through almost our first month of NBA action let’s go through my top three players of the week and discuss why I think they should be on this list, they don’t have to have the most points, rebounds or assists, but their impact on winning and on their team is what is most important, this list is in no order as these three players are my considered top three players.
Luka Doncic
As Luka Doncic leads the league in points per game, Luka is also crushing other statistical categories with an underperforming Dallas Mavericks team. Doncic has really had to carry the load on this team with Doncic leading the league in usage percentage at 37.7, Luka has had to really be the conductor and Savior of this Mavericks team, while Doncic isn’t winning a lot of games he’s playing so well there’s no one else who comes close right now.
Steph Curry
Steph Curry has quickly emerged himself as an MVP candidate and is looking to add a third MVP to his trophy room, Curry is averaging 32.8 points 6.8 rebounds and 6.4 assists on a Warriors team that’s massively under performing and with Curry having many stand out forty and fifty point games this season, He is arguably the best point guard in the league today.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
With what Shai is doing the season on a bad Oklahoma City Thunder team, what Shai is doing at the age of 24 is remarkable, Shai is averaging 32.3 points 4.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists and is also fourth in the league in steals per game with 1.9 with Shai being the focal point of this Thunder team and offense he definitely should be getting a recognition that he deserves at this young of an age.
