Digging deeper into Seth Curry as an offensive player and you can see that he will have a long career in the NBA. In terms of play types, Seth Curry rates out very well in all of them. 33% of Seth Curry's possessions were as a pick and roll ball handler and he rated in the 88th percentile. He is not a great passer, but he is willing to find the open man and due to his shooting ability you cannot go under the pick. Curry is willing to drive it into the lane, he has a nice floater that he unleashes when given the chance. Obviously, as a spot up threat Curry rates out very well. He was in the 82nd percentile. He has to be guarded at all times, which allows teammates to have driving lanes. While Curry does not have the individual moves that allow his brother to be one of the best in the league, Seth is able to do damage in isolation. He rated out in the 93rd percentile averaging 1.09 points per possession. He is a smart player that understands what he does well and what he does not do well. He possesses some quickness, but as mentioned above, he is not an elite athlete. Coming off screens also served Curry well. He was in the 94th percentile among NBA players and is deadly coming off screens. He scored 1.24 points per possession.
Although I continue to mention his brother, Seth Curry is a great player irregardless of who his brother may be. He can shoot and he has needed the opportunity to get minutes. Unfortunately, this is where he becomes difficult to gauge. In 29 minutes per game he played very well for the Mavericks. He played a lot off ball alongside Yogi Ferrell and seemed to play well whether he was the lone ball handler or if he was paired with a point guard. He is somewhat undersized at 6'2, but it does not seem to be an issue for his success offensively. There are not many matchups in the league that will cause problems for him every possession. The Mavericks drafted a point guard in the draft and are bringing back the majority of the guards from last year's team meaning that Seth Curry might not get the minutes he needs to be successful. On the other hand, the reports of Dennis Smith Jr. as a dynamic play maker could lead to Curry get open three pointers, which usually work out for his team. Curry will be a coveted free agent next summer and it will be interesting to see what the Mavericks do in terms of offering him a lucrative deal or allowing him to exit. I would like to see him get the opportunity to play big minutes and see if he can be a great player in the NBA.
