Curry shouldn't be allowed to drive the basketball like he deos. Isiah should stop that. He should only be allowed to shoot jump hooks if he gets good enough position. And he should work on shooting a 10-12 ft jumper when he faces up rather than tring to take his man off the dribble. Him being able to knock down that jumper will force his defender to try and press up and thats when driving will become alot easier.
That's a good point about what a jumper
could do for him. But Curry clearing half a step for himself before he even knows what to do with his feet is putting the cart before the horse. Curry's best assets are his soft hands and close to the basket power - that puts him 75% of the way toward being a reliable low post threat. All that is missing are post moves toward the basket and footwork -- the things our bigman coach (Aguirre) are known for. He's more likely to get his feet in line before his jumper, and I'd rather see him catch the ball 8 feet out and make one or two good step toward the hoop than catch it 10 feet out and step back.
If there were one thing I'd have him add tomorrow it would be a pass back out of the post - to someone who can shoot, facilitate or finish - with a willingness to repost.
