The Golden State Warriors rank third, scoring 98/100, with Stephen Curry ranking top of the league for player impact estimate (PIE) at 21.90%.
The Utah Jazz rank as the least star-dependent team with a score of 80/100. Jaxson Hayes holds a PIE of 11% - just 0.84 percentage points higher than his teammates’ average of 10.16%.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes.
