Seth Curry: 'Steph would love me to come over there and play with him'
As the best available shooter, Seth would be a logical candidate for any of those teams. He led the NBA last season in 3-point shooting percentage at 45.6 percent. His career 43.3-percent shooting from deep places him second among active players, behind Atlanta Hawks wing Luke Kennard (43.8) and just ahead of his third-place brother (42.3). “I always have to do what's best for myself,” Seth Curry says. “Obviously, Steph would love me to come over there and play with him. And the fans showed me a lot of love at all times. (Our) Family would love it. I've obviously I've always embraced the Warriors and their system and love the way they play. And you never know what can happen.”
He’s available. The Warriors need shooting. And Seth’s father-in-law, Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers, is among those who can visualize a fruitful partnership. “I actually think the perfect place for him would be Golden State,” Rivers said last month on The Bill Simmons Podcast. Reminded of Rivers’ comment, Seth Curry grins and does not dismiss the prospect. “They play a good brand of basketball,” he says of the Warriors. “I feel like I've been a part of Dub Nation for a while, watching Steph and being around the organization. Obviously, they, like any team, could use shooting. “But I can't say anything other than I'm trying to find the best place for me.”
With Seth Curry leading the league in 3PT% this year, Steph is now the only Curry family member not to lead the NBA in 3PT% for a season Seth shot 45.6% from three this season, making 83 3PM—just over the qualifying mark of 82. Source. Dell led the NBA in 3PT% in 1998–99, shooting 47.6%. Source. Steph, despite shooting over 44% five times and over 45% three times, has never officially led the league.
Charlotte Hornets PR: INJURY UPDATE: @hornets vs UTA 3/31 Seth Curry (R Knee) and Josh Green (L Shoulder) are probable Ball (R Ankle Impingement), Mann (Disc), Miller (R Wrist), Okogie (L Hamstring Injury Mgmt) and G Williams (R ACL) out
“Talk to me about Cooper Flagg specifically. People expect him to declare for the draft and be the number one overall pick. You’ve seen generational players — how good is Cooper?” Seth Curry: “He’s special, man. He does it all on both ends. I wouldn’t say he doesn’t have a weakness, but he can do everything you ask of him offensively. He can play that point-forward role, run the show, take over scoring, get teammates involved, shoot the J, get to the line — whatever. And defensively? One of the best in the country already at that age. I think he’s going to translate well to the next level. I can’t wait to see him finish out this year and have a long career.” Alex (TMZ): “Would you be shocked if, 10 years down the road, he wasn’t a multi-time NBA All-Star?” Seth Curry: “I really would. He’s special, man. He does it all, and he has that competitive edge. He’s nasty — in a good way. At that age, he’s confident as they come and he ain’t afraid of anything.”

Curry has seen it all during his 11 years in the league. He's been on nine different teams, played with 181 teammates, and shared a locker room with stars ranging from Joel Embiid to Damian Lillard. He saw something special in Doncic. "He’s a great competitor. When practice came around and the ball went up and guys were ready to compete, he played as hard as anybody. One of the best competitors I’ve ever played with."
Seth Curry played with Doncic during two separate stints with the Mavericks, overlapping with the star's second and sixth seasons in the league. He spoke with Sporting News about what he saw from the five-time All-Star. "From my vantage point, you knew what you were going to get from Luka," Curry said. "Practice, games, when the ball went up, you knew he was going to show up and be ready to play when he was healthy. I didn’t see any issues, really."
Rod Boone: LaMelo and Tidjane are active. But Seth Curry (low back tightness) and Jusuf Nurkic (illness) are out.
He relishes the mini on-court family reunion, which happened for just the second time with Seth Curry playing for the Hornets, and is thankful he’s a part of it. “Both of them are coming down to the end of their careers,” Dell Curry told The Observer. “I don’t know how long they are going to be around, much less play against each other. So, I hate that it’s on a back-to-back. I wish I could spend more time in the Bay Area.”
