If Steph Curry was 6'5, where would he rank in the all time greats?

If Curry was 6'5 and had a Bledsoe type of muscular build, elite at defense, more physical and better at driving to the rim, while keeping all of his other attributes, where would he rank in the all time list? Basically if you turn his weaknesses into strengths, how much better would he be? I think he would be top 5 easily.

What if he didn't take whole seasons off for a fracture that is supposed to heal in six weeks.

he'd still be worse than a 7ft lebron who can shoot lights outs and kept all his other attributes.

If he was 6'5" and was an incredible athlete, he likely wouldn't have worked so hard on his outside shot thus negating what has made him elite.

The fracture spread unknowingly, and produced an excess amount of salt which spread like wildfire to fans of other teams. An injection of the antidote "Crymeariver 3.0" should heal it up nicely though.

he stole 40 million from the economy to sit out a season and made it that much harder for me to get my hands on it.

Yes, hypothetical 6'5" athletic Steph Curry with elite defense is at worst a top 5 player all-time.

...but like, he would drop a lot lower if he was playing against other imaginary improved players.

If everyone were built like Stephen Curry, would anyone be better than him?

That's the real question.

If he were taller, would he have become the shooter that he is?
