Dallas will always hold a special place in the career of Seth Curry. It was in the Texas city, after initial difficulties finding his place in the Big League, that the undrafted player really exploded with a season averaging 13 points, in 2017. Dirk Nowitzki was still in the effective at the time.
Six years later, the 33-year-old shooter returns to Dallas, for a third stint after another successful episode in 2019/20 (12 points average). That year, he was able to rub shoulders with the young Luka Doncic. The latter was associated during last season with another player that Seth Curry knows well: Kyrie Irving.
The two men played together in Brooklyn last year and were also teammates ten years earlier, at Duke University. And their new association still has something to salivate about.
“ He’s an incredible shooter. He is also an incredible leader in the locker room. He has experience. And he brings diversity to our playmaker position. It will be interesting to see him on the pitch with Luka. And sometimes with Luka and me. But also to lead the second five. He sets the tone. I look forward to continuing to work with him “, particularly praises Kyrie Irving.
Attracted by the altruism of stars
With Seth Curry, the Mavs get one of the best gunners in the league. Since the start of his career, he has never completed a drill… below 40% 3-point success! And alongside two creators who attract so much attention, the guard should once again be given good shooting opportunities.
“ You have to take them in pairs to prevent them from scoring. And these two players are very selfless. That’s one of the reasons you want to come here as a shooter. It’s about doing your job and being ready when the stars find you “, displays Stephen’s brother.
Jason Kidd finds it positive, for the automatisms, that the recruit has already played with “ Kai and Luke “. “ We would love to have THE same shooting percentage he had with Luka (editor’s note: 45% at 3-points during his second stint). What is underrated about Seth is that he can also run the offense and can be put on the field in different situations », Notes the Mavs coach who is counting on the “spacing” generated by Seth Curry to help the Texan attack.
“ There’s a lot of potential, a lot of talent, throughout the squad, a lot of guys who can play. It’s about combining them. We should have one of the best attacks in the league. It’s about making defensive stops at the right time. In the Western Conference, we must not waste time. Every team feels they have a chance to make the playoffs », Recalls Seth Curry, whose new team missed the mark last season.
