3. Seth Curry

Another Dallas Mavericks player that complements the elite duo of Doncic and Porzingis is Seth Curry. Curry is currently shooting 45.5 percent from behind the 3-point line (third in the NBA) and is shooting a career-high 5.1 attempts per game. Seth has definitely found a home in Dallas and could certainly be a part of this Mavericks team for years to come.

Curry is criminally underrated, mostly due to the fact that his brother, Stephen Curry, is a two-time NBA MVP and three-time NBA champion. Obviously, Seth will never be as good as Steph but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a good player. Seth actually has an overall higher three-point percentage for his career (44.4 percent) than Steph does (43.5 percent), according to Basketball-Reference.

Seth Curry has done an amazing job of turning himself into the perfect role player in today’s NBA and he appears to still be getting better. Curry is currently in his sixth NBA season and this is his first season shooting over five 3-point attempts per game. If I had to guess, we will only see this number increase as Curry’s career progresses and as the NBA continues to shoot more three’s as a whole.
