We expect these numbers from Stephen Curry, but to see Derrick Rose doing this is simply phenomenal. Rose is a career 31.1 percent shooter from deep. The hard work the former MVP put into his jump shot last summer is paying off in a big way.

In 33 games this year for the Timberwolves, Rose is averaging 18.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists per contest. The Chicago native is second in All-Star voting for Western Conference guards, trailing only Curry. Rose is currently fourth in the league in 3-point percentage, trailing only Seth Curry, Joe Harris and Davis Bertans.

In 32 games for the Warriors, Curry is averaging 29.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.6 assists. The two-time league MVP is second in the NBA in points per game, trailing only Houston Rockets star James Harden (34.2). Curry is sixth in 3-point percentage.
