#1 Stephen Curry

The Warriors play with a system. The system has been run by Steph Curry. The two times NBA MVP is quite easily the most important player on this Warriors line up.

Never in the history of NBA has any player been guarded 50ft from the basket. That's the power of Steph Curry. Teams are so scared of him jacking down those long threes that they continuously try to double team him a long way from the basket. That creates a lot of space for his other teammates to operate and thus make them an elite offensive team.

The Warriors are 10-2 with Steph and 2-4 since his injury. They averaged 122 PPG with Steph and only 104 PPG without him, further highlighting his importance.
Steph was also having a historic season of his own before the injury. He was leading the MVP race and his shooting numbers were off the charts. The Warriors are Steph's team and they will continue to dominate once Steph Curry returns from injury.
