Dynamic Duos in '22-23 NBA ?
Posted: Mon Dec 12, 2022 2:59 pm
A lot of attempts have been made to group superstars into a single team, but are any of them actually panning out?
Some are currently playing together, but only with major downtime to one or another. Anyway, here's a data dump listing every team's Top Two in VORP and in Win Shares (separately).
In each case the 2-man total is listed along with each individual. Teams have played 25 to 28 games, roughly 1/3 of the season.

The most productive duos at the top tend to be one superstar and whatever next-best (or most durable) teammate. But there's no Stockton or Pippen-level sidekick.
Knicks, Suns and Hawks may have the best 2nd-best players, though we aren't sure who is #1.
