After winning a third Championship in four years, the Warriors added All-Star DeMarcus Cousins to their roster and now appear more unbeatable than ever. Check out their full NBA Live 19 roster, player ratings and list of playbooks.
Stephen Curry, PG, 94
Age: 30
Position: PG
Height: 6’3’’
Playstyle: Backcourt Shooter
Best stats: 97 Contested Shot, 96 3-point Shot, 96 Mid-Range Shot, 96 Shot off Dribble
Curry’s numbers have suffered a slight bit from his 2015/16 MVP season since Durant joined the Warriors juggernaut, but last year he still averaged 26.4 points on 49.5% shooting - including 42.3% from downtown - to go with 5.1 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.5 steals. One of the top handful of players in the league, Curry's ability to stretch the floor and create offense in so many ways makes him arguably this team's most important player.
Klay Thompson, SG, 91
Age: 28
Position: SG
Height: 6’7’’
Playstyle: Wing Shooter
Best stats: 98 Contested Shot, 95 3-point Shot, 95 Shot off Dribble
On any other team Thompson would be a first or second option on offense, but for the Warriors he’s forced to play third fiddle to Curry and Durant. Still, his incredibly consistent averages of around 20 points, 3.5 rebounds and a little over two assists per game are nothing to be sneezed at, and last season he shot a career best 44% from long range. Add to that his elite defensive abilities, and Thompson is every bit deserving of his 91 OVR.
Kevin Durant, SF, 95
Age: 29
Position: SF
Height: 6’11’’
Playstyle: Wing Shooter
Best stats: 99 Contested Shots, 99 Draw Shooting Foul, 99 Shot off Dribble
Durant snared his second Championship in two years in the Bay Area last season, and with it his second Finals MVP in a row. He averaged 26.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.8 blocks along the way while shooting 41.9% from beyond the arc, further cementing himself in the upper echelon of all-time greats in the process. Durant's ability to contribute in a variety of ways in both ends of the floor is reflected in his OVR and individual stat ratings, which see an extraordinary number of figures well into the 90's.
Draymond Green, PF, 88
Age: 28
Position: PF
Height: 6’7’’
Playstyle: Rim Protector
Best stats: 95 Post Defense, 95 Defensive Awareness, 92 Strength
Indicative of the Warriors' extraordinary starting lineup is that Green, a three-time All Star, is the lowest rated player in it. Though few would challenge that he is least talented of the group, Green is a former defensive player of the year and the best Swiss Army Knife in the business. One of the best defenders in the game and an important piece of the Warriors' offense, his averages of 11.0 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.3 steals demonstrate the significance of his role to this team.
DeMarcus Cousins, C, 90
Age: 28
Position: C
Height: 6'11’’
Playstyle: Post Anchor
Best stats: 99 Draw Shooting Foul, 95 Defensive Awareness, 95 Strength
One of the most intimidating forces in the game, 'Boogie' Cousins is capable of putting up stat lines like no other. Last season he was averaging 25.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.6 blocks for the Pelicans before his achilles went pop, and in the offseason joined the Warriors on a one-year contract of which he will only be able to fulfill around half as he recovers from his injury. An enigmatic force, there are question marks over what his presence both on and off the floor will do for the Warriors.
