Exactly was I was going to say

he's having a career year at 9 ppg and is a rotational player. career average 42% shooter
let's be real

42%? Thats VERY good bro..

You expect him to be averaging like 15-20 ppg on one of the best teams in the league?

  

42% is not VERY good. It's below average.

 

[ballinsam23]

if monta wasnt on that team he'd be playing the way he did when he was on davidson imo

Anyone who thought JJ would be a star in the league is delusional, but he's been a consistent role player for a championship caliber team.

Anyway, Curry has been playing well even considering inflated stats playing for GS.

No one thought JJ would light up the league.

Hes outperforming many peoples expectations.

 

[bleezys and heem]

Curry isn't the #1 option/focal point of the offense. If he was, I wouldn't be surprised if he would be averaging almost 20ppg this year. 
I think the youngster will have a very solid career - whether thats with GSW and their "inflated stats" 

 

 or another team.

That being said - they should trade Monta while he is healthy and putting up monster numbers for some cap room. I actually wanted that Ray Allen for Ellis deal to go down - GSW would have had a ton of cap space and they could build around Curry/Morrow/Randolph/Biedrins.

With the amount of chuckers Golden State has (Monte, Morrow, Mags) it's amazing he's averaging that much.

Somebody hasn't been watching Warriors games.

Why ya'll keep calling him a 2 guard? Have ya'll actually seen the dude play? He's done a fine job at the PG position and shows more poise at the position than arguably any other rookie point guard right now.

I completely agree.

Same reason people throw out Monta Ellis's turnover numbers, they have no idea what they are talking about.

 

[banks2pierce]

I was wrong about the "bust" label that I threw around, but you do have to consider the system that he plays in. The Warriors lead the league in Pace by a mile and this leads to inflated offensive and deflated defensive numbers. There are open shots left and right and that is almost exclusive to the way the Warriors play(the Pacers are also up there). I'd still take him on my team, though.

 

[TheGodFresco]

Not gonna lie, i owe him an apology as well. Before the Warriors drafted him, i was bashing him.

That inflated stuff "sounds" good. But he plays the point guard position. Most of his buckets AREN'T assisted. He primarily scores in one on one situations. That "system" also has nothing to do with how efficient he's been as a PG either.

Yup. Only reason everyone thinks he's a 2 guard is because of his scoring ability in college. Only problem was he didn't have much of an option because he was surrounded by scrubs. After seeing him in summer league the only thing he wasn't doing well was shooting (which everyone praised him for) and that has been picking up month by month.

I was about to say that.

But you have to take into account he isn't the man. He shares ball handling responsibilities. You're talking like his numbers are inflated because of the system, but in reality he'd be putting up better numbers in Sacramento or Milwaukee where he could dominate the ball like Tyreke and Jennings even though both those teams play at a slower pace.

21% of his possessions are in transition.

That is a very high number of transition opportunities so I'd say that the inflated possessions stuff does have some validity, but he does show very well in spot up and pick and roll situations.

This is exactly the reason why in my prediction thread I have Curry getting ROY.  Reke and Jennings are the go-to-guys so to speak on their terrible teams.  What Curry has shown is more impressive to me.

Curry has a HIGH basketball IQ and a money stroke. It's a matter of time become he becomes really good. Dude CAN play the point guard position in the NBA. Now, let's just hope they can trade away some of those chuckers, Don Nelson and that ownership group.

Definitely co-sign that last part. That arena was fun to watch during that playoff run. Those fans deserve a playoff team and an ownership group that knows what the hell they are doing.

 

[bangdak]

One thing i have about curry, is that hes too lazy. he needs to put more effort out there. sometimes, he justs looks lost as hell, and tired (but i dont blame him, thats on management).

 

[gregory house]

He plays for the Warriors.
