Top 10 Scorer	TS% w/ Them	TS% w/o Them	Gap
Luka	60.8% (2nd)	59.8% (6th)	+0.99%
Embiid	59.6% (7th)	58.9 (9th)	+0.64%
Steph	55.4% (24th)	52.4% (30th)	+3.03%
KD	58.6% (9th)	57.0% (18th)	+1.49%
Jokic	59.1% (8th)	57.0% (18th)	+1.95%
SGA	60.9% (2nd)	60.8% (3rd)	+0.07%
Tatum	60.1% (5th)	59.0% (9th)	+1.12%
Maxey	59.6% (7th)	58.9% (9th)	+0.62%
Giannis	60.1% (5th)	59.6% (7th)	+0.45%
Mitchell	57.0% (19th)	56.7% (19th)	+0.22%

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.

Look I get it, "haha look at Klay and Wiggins! Klays career is over and Wiggins was always bad!". I'm rolling laughing.

The reality is its extremely unlikely they will be missing THIS many shots over the course of the entire season. I'm not saying we're gonna win or Klay hasn't started to decline or anything. Just that they have been hilariously bad to start and they will average out to at minimum "kinda bad" over the course of the season.

They are 6-7 with Klay and Wiggins playing the worst they've probably ever played. I'm not too worried at all tbh, we don't need them to play their best to compete.
