Despite not scoring, Chris Paul encourages his teammates

Chris Paul, the point guard for the Phoenix Suns, isn't expected to score 30 points every night, but there is still pressure on him to do it occasionally. Paul is averaging 10.1 points per game, which ranks him 136th in the league. Even though it's still early, that would be much below his 14.7 points per night career worst. Despite the fact that the 37-year-old's scoring ability has declined in recent years, the Suns are 6-1 for many reasons, one of which is Paul's overall play. 

He presently leads the NBA in assists with an average of 11 per game and ranks seventh in steals per game with 1.9. Paul had a line of 15/8/12 in 34 minutes against the Minnesota Timberwolves, falling two rebounds short of a triple-double. He also had three steals.
