Which backcourt is primed to be NBA’s best in Klay Thompson’s absence?

The Splash Brothers will be on ice to start the 2019-2020 NBA season as superweapon shooting guard Klay Thompson recovers from the ACL injury he suffered in the NBA Finals. That’s a tough blow for Dub Nation who have seen the Golden Empire built on the efforts of Stephen Curry and Thompson, the combo that revolutionized the game of basketball with their deadly scoring and playmaking.

This may be the longest extended period of time Curry is without his backcourt buddy. Although the wizardry of Warriors’ general manager Bob Myers brought All-Star guard D’Angelo Russell to pair along Curry while Thompson recuperates, the NBA’s various backcourts must be salivating over their chance to steal the spotlight.
