Chris Paul is regarded as one of the best point guards in the league. He is primarily known for his passing, playmaking skills and high assist to turnover ratio.

Paul was drafted by the New Orleans Hornets in the 2005 NBA Draft. He played brilliantly for the Hornets for a total of six seasons. Later he moved to the Los Angeles Clippers where his performance and skills improved.

Paul currently plays for the Houston Rockets and signed a four-year contract with them in 2018. This season he passed Isiah Thomas to move into seventh on the NBA's all-time career assists list and currently has 9,181 of the same to his name.

CP3 is the most efficient passer and led the league in assist four times (2008, 2009, 2014, 2015). Apart from his assists, he is also a great mid-range shooter and a decent perimeter defender who also led the league in steals in six seasons. Paul has averaged 18.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 9.7 assists, and 2.2 steals per game throughout his career.
