Meh. Regular season numbers. System player won't be putting up these numbers in the playoffs. You know where teams can study him. Word to last years 1st round.

[100%duncan]

Wish I could say in before the gots... but nonetheless

[Seventyniner]

top 10 my ass. top 3

This. You can put Curry and maybe LeBron above him.

Did Porker play?

[spurs10]

Another thread by Joshua or JaoJao as he likes to go by.

[YGWHI]

He had a 62% (OP rounding up I round down it's fair game) fg, 78,5% 3pt, indeed 91% ft and 20 ppg which is damn impressive even though not seating 4th quarters

I guess the criteria to round up/down is above/below .005, now Kawhi's .625%...you can round up, if he was .624% you can round down.

i've been watcing basktball for a long time and never in my life have I seen a guy coming off 2 and 3 illegal screens shooting teen 3 pointers a game, while not having the ability to guard anyone, being called the best player in the league.

since when? Since espn has convinced people that don't watch basketball that he is?

[lilbthebasedgod]

idk I don't watch espn.

[cjw]

No hes not.

This is people equating someone who gets a lot of steals as being a "good defender". Kind of like someone who gets a lot of blocks is a "good defender". You can get steals by gambling but putting yourself out of position if you don't get the steal.

Curry has decent to above average defensive metrics but nothing out of the ordinary. He rates middle of the pack in defending PnR ballhandlers at 0.82 PPP, which is the 46th percentile and accounts for about 46% of plays he defends ... probably the most important type of play a PG defends. A guy like Kawhi is in the 86th percentile.

Completely agree curry gambles alot on defense. Hes not horrible but definitely not great.
