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.
