Last year, he averaged 9.2 points, 3.9 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 44.1 percent from the field and 37.1 percent from three-point range in 58 games for the Golden State Warriors.

Recently, the popular video game NBA 2K revealed Paul’s note for the new game (2K25).
Paul is ranked 81st overall, tying him for the 78th best player.
D’Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, Klay Thompson and Coby White are some of the other notable players with the same ranking as Paul.
Even though his career is so advanced, this ranking shows how respectable a point guard Paul remains.
Many fans are excited to see Paul paired with 2024 Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama.
The Spurs finished last season in 14th place in the Western Conference with a 22-60 record.
However, Wembanyama averaged 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.6 blocks per game while shooting 46.5 percent from the field and 32.5 percent from three-point range in 71 games.
