I was watching a special with Red auerbach and kevin mchale talking about that the 1st thing that you think about when a shot goes up "is boxing out your defender". Watching the game , you watch curry and the shot goes up and hes watching the ball. I know hes been in the league 6 yrs and he should know this but it seems this is something that if you really stress he will learn it. I think if he could it would make such a big difference in his game. His offense is fine, man -man defense is adequate but his rebounding sucks. If he can at least box out his man he would get more rebounds, his man would get less and it opens up area for your other players get the rebound. If somehow he can learn this it really would give this team a tremendous boost.

He's not the smartest player on the team. In some ways, I think he'll always play like a rookie.

Jerome James of all people boxes out. So does Q.

Its an effort thing. Boxing out is not complicated. Just get your body between your guy and the basket and trust in your guys enough to keep the boxout even when the ball is not bouncing your way.

Fry did a good god of boxing out last night. Curry has no idea.

everyone has a reason why Curry is not great, i.e. his conditioning, hes too dumb, slow, whatever....One glaring problem that that jumps out to me is his hands. He really has one of the worst hands i have ever seen. He cant hold the ball at all and I believe this is the MAIN reason why he hasnt taken the next step and prob never will. Next time you all watch him play try to really pay attention to how many times he cant put his hands on the ball.

Its not his hands....its the fact that he brings the ball down low whenever he catches it, allowing players to strip him....another fundamental part of basketball he never learned.

Way off base. Good hands for a big man is one of the good qualities he has.
The other complaints are accurate though

I agree with Andrew and Panos. He has very good hands, especially on offense. He can catch fast passes, even if they're slightly off line.

its lack of focus and urgency to do the little things that win games

again tonight after every shot goes up curry is watching the ball instead of boxing out the closest defender. this needs to be ingrained in him like pavlov's dog.

Add me to the list that think Aguirre just ain't cutting it.

seriously, how can you blame Aguire? Don't you think every coach Curry has EVER had has told him to box out? Dude, just doesn't have the mental capacity.
