Steph isn't exactly the paragon of durability. You know this right?

He can't create any space because as tall as he is, he's unathletic than a mf'er. So it's almost impossible for him to create his own against active defense. So the only thing he has left is spot up shooting, which he's streaky with.
Since he's tall but so slow and unathletic, he can't hustle across the court for rebounds and loose balls like Braun can. Or defend like Gordon can. He has a KD body type with 5% of KD's athletic gifts. Most people in the NBA his size and length are above average athletes but he moves like he's in quicksand and it affects every part of his game.
