Seth Curry joins the Warriors? Data analysis is he a "relationship account" or a real brother who can help his brother

Because Kumingga's contract renewal problem has not been resolved for a long time, this has seriously affected the Golden State Warriors' reinforcement operations in the free agent market this summer. Currently, there are only 10 players on the Warriors' roster, which will have an adverse impact on the preparations for the new season. Of course, the Warriors' management is also working hard. According to reports, they are very interested in Brogdon and Seth Curry (hereinafter referred to as Seth), especially if Seth joins, they will form a brother combination with their brother Stephen Curry. As the saying goes, brothers are united and they will cut off gold. The two will join forces on and off the court and have bonds BUFF.

Stephen Curry chose the strongest five-man in NBA history

Of course, the choice is to take the initiative. There are many examples of using brothers to be a relationship account in the NBA. In order to make Antetokounmpo happy, the Bucks recruited both his brother and younger brother to the team. In order to keep Dragic, the Suns also recruited his younger brother to the team. In order to make Wagner Jr. happy, the Magic actively signed Wagner Big, in order to make Wagner Jr. Not to mention that Seth's father-in-law is also the most prestigious coach in the NBA's black circle. With his connections, there is no need to worry about work at all. But fans familiar with Seth also know that he has to be strong and does not want to live in the shadow of his elder brother Curry. He wants to make his own name mark in the NBA with his own efforts.

Of course, Seth celebrated his 35th birthday on August 23. For basketball players, it is difficult for him to compete for anything at this age. Being happy in playing basketball may be more important. If you consider this level, he really may join forces with his brother, but the most important thing is to have real strength and be able to provide help to the Warriors, otherwise he will become a lose-prime family in his later years and be criticized as a relationship owner. So what level is Seth now? Today's Star Test will bring you the data analysis of Seth.

I chose the advanced data model of the American craftednba website as the basis, and then added Seth's specific data from last season to substitute it so that fans can have a clearer and more intuitive feeling.

Since the 2023-24 season, Seth's playing time and team status have begun to decline by one level. In the previous four seasons, he has been the starting player of the team, with an average playing time of about 30 minutes, but since the 2023-24 season, his playing time per game has dropped to 15 minutes, and his role positioning has also become a rotation substitute.

TS% true hit rate, 59.2%, surpassing 73% of the league's players. Seth is only 1.85 meters tall, ranking 13th from the bottom among the 569 players in the league last season. If he can have this hit rate under this huge height disadvantage, he should definitely take a high look.

SQ shooting quality, this data only calculates the shooting data, Seth scores as high as 83.2, surpassing 98% of the league's players. It can be said that he is one of the strongest shooting players in the league.

FTR free throw rate (the proportion of free throws in the attack basket) accounts for 12.4%, surpassing the league's 19% of players. Although Seth's free throws are extremely accurate and his career free throw shooting rate reaches 86.3%, it is difficult for him to get too many free throw opportunities with his physical talent. He only got 39 free throw opportunities in total last season, and his highest career season is only 100 free throw opportunities.

3Par (the proportion of three-pointers in the attack basket) accounts for 53.1%, surpassing 72% of the league's players. Three-pointers are Seth's unique skills and his biggest trait. Last season, he made 83 goals with 182 three-point shootings, with a three-point shooting percentage of up to 45.6%, ranking first in the league. Although he has fewer shots, his average three-point shooting percentage in 11 seasons of his career is as high as 43.3%, which is definitely one of the most accurate outside firepower points in the league.

ORB offensive rebound quality (in addition to the number of direct rebounds, it also includes subsequent contributions after grabbing the rebound), with a score of -0.3. Needless to say, his size and outside shooting player will have no chance to grab the frontcourt rebound unless the shooting box is far away and the offensive rebound falls back into his hands again.

Load's offensive load represents the proportion of tasks undertaken by players in the team's offense. Seth accounts for 23.5%, surpassing 37% of the league's players. Although Seth's playing time has been reduced and his personal playing position has been reduced, as long as he plays on the court, he will definitely have scenes in the team's offensive system. Especially the ability to receive and shoot from the outside is still very powerful. Last season, he received the ball and made 62 goals with 136 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 45.6%.

Creation Inside Creativity refers to the ability to create open scoring opportunities for teammates in the interior. Seth scored 2.1, surpassing 42% of the league's players. Many people asked him why a short outside line still has inside creativity, mainly because he has certain ability to break points, and can hold the ball to the inside line to attract defense and pass it to the open teammates.

Portability portability, the player's adaptability in different lineups, scored 6.9, surpassing 81% of the league's players. Scorer players can match a variety of offensive systems. No matter who they partner with, as long as the ball is in hand, you can shoot the opportunity.

Passer Rating pass efficiency, scored 3.1, 31% of the players in the Super League. If you really join the Warriors, the score is a bit low, because the Golden State Warriors are the most famous pass-through team in the league. In the 2024-25 season, the ranking first in the league. If Seth really joins the Warriors, he needs to work hard on this.

CraftedOPM Comprehensive offensive influence and comprehensive offensive data in all aspects, Seth's score is -1.2, surpassing the league's 38% of the players. It should be said that although Seth's three-point shooting is still accurate in the past two seasons, he has not provided much help to the team in other aspects of offense. He can only be regarded as a supporting shooter now.

Then let's look at the defensive aspect.

Deflections converts the ball every 36 minutes, surpassing 47% of the league's players 2.2 times. Active pressing is the main way for small players to play a role on the defensive end. Seth has done a fair job in this regard.

raDTOV defensive error rate, I cannot accurately define this data yet.

DRB defensive rebound quality, -0.3 surpasses 30% of the league's players, and this is not much to mention. Rebounding is a natural weakness for small players.

Rim Defense reduces the reserve requirement ratio in the interior. The statistical method is that players reduce their opponent's shooting rate within 6 feet of the basket and compares with the league average. Seth's inside defense increases the opponent's shooting rate by 7.6 percentage points. This is the biggest fatal point for a small player in the NBA. They are limited by physical talent and will definitely become cotton on the defensive end, and are constantly being misplaced.

Rim Frequency player framing protection tasks account for the percentage of total framing protection, referring to the proportion of the player participating in the team's overall framing defense when he is on the court. After Seth comes on the court, he participates in 32.6% of framing defense, but as mentioned above, he is equivalent to a human-shaped wooden stake, and his framing defense has interference with the opponent to the opponent.

BLKpct players blocked 2 points while on the court, and Seth scored 0.7, surpassing 18% of the league's players. Seth did block 7 times last season.

Versatility has a multi-faceted defensive nature, and the player's ability to defend other positions. Seth scores 28.9. His size is only defensive to the backcourt, and most of them are against the disadvantages.

CraftedDPM's comprehensive defensive influence, Seth surpassed 32% of the league's players by 0.5, which is also an inevitable situation. He is the weakest link in the team's defense at any time.

Finally, based on all data, Seth Curry currently has negative effects on both offense and defense. The only advantage he can make is to receive three-pointers. If he is allowed to play the role of Cole in the Chicago Bulls Dynasty at the end of his career, that is, a pitcher or locker room veteran at a championship-level team, his main task is to threaten scoring at critical moments of the game, then he is really suitable, but the Warriors have not reached that level at the moment. They need strong combat power to effectively help Curry and Butler share the pressure of the game. Seth obviously does not have this ability.

But I still hope that Seth can join the Warriors and become teammates with his brothers at the highest level of basketball stage in the world. This is a kind of honor for the entire Curry family. It has nothing to do with the victory or defeat or with the data. It may be a tacit understanding that you can understand with your eyes, a bond of mutual encouragement and competition, and a brotherly relationship that is more precious than a trophy.
