Now I have to wonder if Curry can step it up one more level and be a consistent 20ppg scorer like his brother? It's looking like Seth is just a late bloomer at 26. Maybe Seth is just one of those players that needed to start to reach their potential.

Interestingly enough, SG is his better position. He doesn't have to bother concentrating on being the PG.

Definitely. I think Curry should only play PG out of necessity or if Carlisle is exploiting a matchup. Same deal as Monta and Terry,,,they could play PG if necessary but you want them to play SG majority of the time.

Precisely. However, I am concerned with the undersized starting SG. Barea helped win the Championship in the starting lineup and I know 20 PPG is still 20 points, but is that a winning formula for the team future?

It really depends on matchups. If we need to go larger at SG we always can use Matthews or Anderson and put Finney Smith at SF. Carlisle is usually good at those chess matches.

He's worthy of an NBA roster (which I didn't think he was initially). He's gotten a little stronger which has helped, but he needs to continue to work on his strength. His deficiency on the defensive end is still painful to watch.

Seriously?

Seriously what? I said a few things.

Brilliant move by Carlisle to decide to play small ball. Everyone on the court can shoot now and the bench has decent shooters too.

Man I'm still upset the Kings let him go. I always thought he was better suited as a 2g but last year towards the end of the year he showed real flashes with his passing.

I think he's capable of being a really good backup pg. Or playing him as the off ball guard when you have say a Giannis/Lebron/Harden or on a worse scale a tyreke/Smart type player next to him that can be the lead ball handler.

What puzzled me was that the Kings could have simply made a RFA. But they simply let him go.

Ever since a rough start (where I was actually irritated by what it looked like a very passive guy), he has been playing really really well. Just very smooth and always looks like he is taking good shots which translates into great percentages are great since December - 62.3 TS%.

You're operating under the assumption that the Kings front office aren't just a bunch of monkeys throwing feces at each other... this is the same team that let Isaiah Thomas go to try and sign Wes, keep in mind

If Yogi is done being aggressive maybe it's time to start Seth at PG. I prefer him at the SG but maybe this is a possibility. Coach won't put Dirk on the bench and Noel is a starting center. This may keep all happy.

Noel
Dirk
Barnes
Matthews
Curry

And when Dirk goes out, Yogi comes in and the players slide up a position.

I want to see this.

Maybe we should use our cap to extend Seth and Yogi this offseason? Get the full bird rights for the '18 summer.

It will be interesting to see what Seth's market value will be and who might get in a bidding war with Dallas.

It's clear by watching him that he's much more comfortable on the court with the Mavs than he's ever been. His personality is starting to show more and his confidence is through the roof.

Jason Terry, 27 (first season with Mavs) per 36 minutes
12.4 PPG, 2.4 RPG, 5.4 APG, 1.4 SPG, 0.2 BPG, 1.8 TO, 2.2 PF, 54.0% 2P%, 42.0% 3P%, 84.4% FT%

Seth Curry, 26 (first season with Mavs) per 36 minutes
15.5 PPG, 3.2 RPG, 3.5 APG, 1.5 SPG, 0.1 BPG, 1.6 TO, 2.4 PF, 51.7% 2P%, 43.0% 3P%, 82.4% FT%

Pretty close. But still, he's more a combo guard than a point guard.

Interesting comparison, and Seth seems to have the "clutch gene" too. It's still VERY early on though .... JET was so good & fun to watch. Miss that dude.

Seth is a very good guard. Just a few months ago he was nobody. Now he's known. I'm really surprised he's this good. I mean the dude is a starter, clearly. I think he the clear starting PG/SG for the team for the next 10 years. Bright future. The Mavs were the only team that gave him a chance. Everyone else buried him at the end of their roster. Just how it is in the NBA I guess.
