3. Chris Paul : Los Angeles Clippers
CP3 is keeping the Clippers near the top of the West without Blake Griffin. He’s averaging 18.8 points per game, which is down compared to some of his best scoring seasons, but his 9.5 assists per game is fourth in the NBA.
He is still arguably the best defensive point guard in the league, and averages 2.07 steals per game, sixth-most among point guards. Paul is shooting 46 percent from the field, fourth-best among point guards. His 3.47 assist-to-turnover ratio is fourth-best in the NBA. CP3 is showing why he is a superstar carrying the load on a Clippers team where he doesn’t have as much help as it seemed like he would “on paper” coming into the season.
