Hyperize 21 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Considering taking him 2nd in a h2h 9 cat over Harden (pretty sure AD will be first). Although his injury history last few seasons is abit scary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's #1 on my board. I have the 3rd pick in my draft, im praying he falls to me. With the Harden uncertainty, plus my bias being a Warrior fan, I’ve got Steph #1 as well. Really believe he’s gonna go off off this year. Too much Steph slander for him to not wanna “make that old” again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ReAmiE 78 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I think Curry will struggle to find rhythm with his new teammates and not be able to adopt so easily. Do not underestimate the loss of Klay Thompson and his defensive presence. The Warriors should try to trade Wiggins for disgruntled Sacramento King Buddy Hield. That would be a better fit for this Warriors team as they try to navigate this season without the great Klay Thompson. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's pretty much had MVP caliber seasons any time he is healthy, health is the only blocker I think most would agree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fabrar is going out on a limb here calling this an MVP season before the season began because we all know Curry doesnt have Klay or Durant so he will be the number 1 scoring option and focal point on offense so his assists will be there as well, especially on a team good enough to compete for the last couple of playoff spots so no real threat of missed games/load managment. We all know Curry when healthy has 2 straight MVP awards 1 being the only unanimous MVP and also clearly miles ahead the best shooter in the history of mankind. I will be shocked if a healthy Curry becomes MVP this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Getting the actual NBA mvp is subjective to wins etc and not individual play, but with that said while they don't have KD & Klay, they do have Oubre, Wiggins, and now Wiseman so far from a scrub roster. Also, Steph had his best season without KD there as his usage was much higher, which I expect to see again this year. People forget that KD is arguably the best player in the league and when you have to share a court with him things change quickly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blazeh 215 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 The good news is that Curry is gonna have high usage all year and should rack up counting stats because no one else on the warriors can create a shot to save their life The bad news is that Curry's probably not averaging more that 30 mpg from all the blowouts and garbage time this team seems destined for Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody on the Warriors can create a shot. Not Oubre, not Wiggins and not Damion Lee.

Wow it’s like those guys all forgot how to shoot magically this year after 1 game. Shot creation ≠ shooting ability. Wiggins can create shots for himself but not others, while Oubre's thrived in more of a catch and shoot capacity. Damion Lee fits your description but he's not an encouraging example. Steph is best when he has someone to set him up so he can play more off ball like he did when the team was dominant; it especially helps his efficiency. The return of a true playmaker in draymond will benefit all shooters. Problem is I'm not convinced they'll be good even if he comes back strong. And anyone who owned dray last year knows kerr plays it painfully safe with stars when things are looking bad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The numerous Draymond DNP’s had as much to do with their indifference to losing as it did with health. I’m expecting him to show up a lot more this season and make things easier on everyone else (ie; Curry) as their new players start to gel. Still, I strongly doubt we’ll be seeing the > 47% FG Curry this year, but the volume could be epic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

megaplayboy 461 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 It's really amazing how less effective he is when he doesn't have other high IQ players with him, he has to work so hard to score and doesn't have the ball handling skills to just take over whenever he wants like a Kyrie Irving. It's early, but starting to regret taking him in my first round we will have to hope with Draymond Green they are better but it is NOT looking good and Curry just doesn't look elite anymore.

He's also just kinda old now and has never been a huge "work on his body" type guy like Lebron or hell even KD. I think there's like a 30% chance he retires at the end of this deal and tries to play golf professionally. I'm serious.

BrickWalled 18 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 This isn't the start I was hoping for, but I think he can turn it around. The Bucks are a great defensive team, Draymond isn't there to help him, and he might need some time to fully gel with Oubre and Wiggins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
