When I think about it, I can't really find any glaring problems with Stephen Curry. Curry is a dead eye shooter with a 42% 3-pointer, and averaged a career high 24 points per game this past season, but there other aspects besides shooting that make him number 2 on the list.Curry is famously known for his role in the dynamic duo with Klay Thompson, known as "The Splash Brothers". What does that mean exactly? Well basically that means the duo LOVE to shoot 3's at a high rate, with great accuarcy. Curry is also among the best clutch shooters in the league, he's defintely one of the players I want shooting at the end of games. Aside from that for a scorer like Curry to average 8.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game this past season, is quite the acheivement in its own right, but with 24 points as well, thats superstar level. Curry proved he can be a true point guard, and run his team's offense with great passing this past season. Rebounding for a point guard isn't really a necessity, and finding a point guard that can rebound is uncommon, but Curry contributed with solid rebounding numbers during the season. Though Curry isn't perfect, 2 major aspects keep him form reaching that number one spot, 1. reocurring ankle issues, though his ankles haven't been too troublesome lately, and 2. defense, yeah Curry's defense isn't really that bad, but for sure it is not at an elite level.
