His jump shot is already one of the best of all time, but I don't see him being able to add that much more to his game. He isn't athletic enough or big enough to be more than an average defender. He's not quick enough to constantly attack the rim, his passing/ball handling is already very very good (He doesn't have the court vision to push it to another level). I understand he is 25 years old, but look at the greatest shooters in NBA history. Reggie Miller and Ray Allen both had excellent careers, but their shooting %, win shares, etc all peaked at around 25 - 26.
Seriously though, with curry's touch and quickness, he can incorporate some moves, even like the sky hook, off the dribble. Obviously they won't be as deadly as a skilled big using it in the post, but he'll be deadlier overall, if he has a move for every hole he finds himself in. And when i say touch, i don't just mean shooting accuracy, like a Ray Allen. He's got a really good touch, timing, accuracy, range, etc. Few guys have all of that together.
I think he can improve his defense since that's really the only weakness he has. If he can become a two way player he will be a top 3 pg
That's like comparing Harden to Aldridge. Harden actually has size and athleticism. He actually has potential to become a great defender, have a post game etc.
not far from it, he can probably add a few things around the edges, but there's no part of his game that he can really see a major addition (e.g. post game), and his ankles will probably only get worse as he gets older
Players can always add offensive moves to their game to make up for slowly decreasing athleticism. There's a reason Ray Allen's still in the league.
To answer your Q.. No. Curry can add more stuff to his game. He can condition himself and become a better defender.. for example.. and more
He'll get a little better if his ankles don't give out on him. I do worry that his ankles cause his career to be shortened. Looking back at that draft I remember a lot of people did not like Curry. But some of us knew he had major game. http://bbs2.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=4587854&postcount=6
LOL, my genius was in full-force again: http://bbs2.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=4588166&postcount=8 :grin: God but I suck at prognosticating the draft.
Perhaps he should work on his physique and try gain some in the weight room ... he seems a bit frail and undersized, cant take on too many knocks in physical matches at the moment. Once he gets stronger he can go the full distance and will be much better.
