Steph Curry has been the backbone of the Warriors for a while now and he continues to show why he is the Warriors' all-time leading scorer with a total of 18,434 points scored in 762 appearances, recording an average of 24.2 points per game. He is also the franchise's all-time leader in total assists, free throw percentage and 3-points made per game.

Curry is considered to be the best offensive player in the NBA, having led the league in points, points per game, 3-points made and attempted. He is a force on the floor and the Warriors are elated he is on their side as he could make all the difference this season in their drive to regain dominance.

In the 2020-21 NBA season, Curry led the team in points, 3-points, free throws and field goals, recording 5.3 3-points, 5.7 free throws and 10.4 field goals per game. With his high level of consistency, he is expected to keep putting up these numbers and possibly surpassing them.

#3. Shooting

Klay Thompson is expected to make a return in the coming season with his recovery from his torn Achilles seemingly on schedule. He would be a great addition to the shooting power of the Warriors, having recorded 21.5 points, 8.4 field goals and 3.1 3-points per game in his last active season with the Warriors (2018-19 NBA season).

His contribution saw the Warriors finish 1st in the Western Conference and his absence for the NBA Finals Game 7 against the Toronto Raptors left a hole in the team, which led to their loss.

Curry is on track to become the NBA's all-time 3-point leader in the 2021-22 NBA season as he trails behind Ray Allen by only 141 3-points. Andrew Wiggins is yet another good shooter in the Warriors arsenal, averaging 18.6 points per game from the previous season.
