Portland Trail Blazers: 3 reasons Seth Curry is a good move

2. Another scorer

Because the Blazers did not bring back Pat Connaughton, Ed Davis or Napier, they are very thin in scorers off the bench. That’s why adding Curry as the sixth man makes a ton of sense for Portland, which lacked another player who could light up the scoreboard and get buckets if the stars went cold. For the Mavericks, Curry had 17 games scoring 18 points or more. He also had 23 games with three or more 3-point shots made.

Even at 6’2”, he can score from all over the court. Curry is a sniper from behind the 3-point line, but he has developed his game into just more than a shooter. He can handle the ball and create offense for himself and teammates.

Curry is excellent as a pick-and-roll ball handler and just needs a tiny amount of space to make a play. He is hard to defend one-on-one. Curry can score from deep, mid-range and near the rim. Adding him will allow the Blazers to let Lillard and McCollum play off the ball while he is the primary ball-handler.

Curry has no problem feeding the open rolling man, keeping defenses on their toes.

Curry can also pull up from deep or mid-range and knock down shots using his quick jumper.

Just like his brother, he is very crafty getting to the hoop and the way he finishes.

He can get to the basket and finish, even though he is smaller. According to NBA.com, during the 2016-17 season, Curry scored 26.5 percent of his points in the paint. He also shot 63.2 percent in the restricted area.

Curry has a quick first step and can blow by his defender. He does not seem bothered going up against bigger guys. He can score using layups, up-and-unders and floaters to finish some difficult shots.
