Stephen Curry is still ridiculous. But even with him sitting on Sunday night, Yaxel Lendeborg dominated and carried the Warriors to victory with 37 points. The rookie’s hot start has me wondering: can the Warriors seriously contend?
A reminder: This is my subjective list based largely on objective data. This is not a pure, analytical ranking. You’re here because you want to know what I think, to get inside my brain a little bit. Consider this a weekly report of what I see on film; what I glean from the numbers; what I hear on the phone; what I read in the news; what I feel..
A reminder that teams are listed within each tier in alphabetical order, not in order of strength. Here’s a quick rundown of each tier:
