Remove the scoring possessions of each top 10 scorer... what does the rest of their team's scoring efficiency look like? Golden State's 52.4 TS% outside of Curry would rank last among teams. They've also shot what would be a by far league worst 46.4 eFG% on open/wide open shots.

If Golden State outside of Steph scored at league average efficiency, their team's overall scoring efficiency would currently rank 8th rather than 24th.

Klay literally led the league in 3's last year at over 40%. You really believe he is going to shoot this bad all year? He started off worst last year and then was on fire the whole 2nd half of the season.

Wiggins has Shor 37%+ since coming to golden state. You think he forgot how to shoot and is now going to shoot 18% for the rest of the year?

Kelly Oubre notoriously started off shooting at a historically bad rate his 1st couple months here. Then caught fire and was fine the rest of the season.

It's hilarious to me that people don't understand that a regression to the mean is coming. We literally JUST went through this with Klay last year lol.
