Phoenix Suns star Chris Paul is in his own territory when it comes to point guard efficiency. He currently has 45 games with 10+ assists and zero turnovers, something no player has done as well as him.
The next point guard to do this is two time champion and CP3 rival/doppelganger Rajon Rondo, but the current Los Angeles Clipper only has 13 games with this stat under his belt.

This just goes to show how iconic Paul is. Dubbed as the Point God, he’s also known to uplift the winning culture of every team he goes to. He was traded in the off season to the Suns and look where he has brought them—to the top of the Western Conference seedings. Paul also helped the Suns end their 10-year long playoff drought.
Aside from the Suns, Paul was also instrumental to the Houston Rockets when they reached the Western Conference Finals last 2018. If the Point God didn’t suffer an injury, who knows what would have happened. Besides the Suns and Rockets, Paul was also part of the Lob City days during his tenure with the Clippers—an exciting time for the franchise.
It’s going to be interesting to see how far Paul can lead the Suns in the playoffs. He’s been a great fit alongside rising all-star Devin Booker as the two are one of the most lethal backcourt players in the league. Not only is Paul so efficient in the statistics department but he’s also a tremendous leader both on and off the basketball court.
