Stephen Curry where does he rank among point guards

[Hambombs]

Just watched him break the 3pt record!! Anyway what rank does he rank mong point guards right now? My friend says he's barely a top 10 points guard in the NBA right now, and im like are you serious thats crazy talk! What would you say thoughts??

he's really not a PG, he's a SG

Doesnt answer my question. Also yes he is. He has very good passing skills.

That doesn''t make him a PG, and he doesn't play at PG for the Warriors. He's a SG. And he's easily top 10

He's a great player but as someone said he's really not a PG but if he is listed as PG there is no doubt he is top 10

He does play PG though. So where does he rank at point guard?

He plays SOME PG, not a lot. Jarret Jack is their primary PG at this point.

I'm not sure I'd rank him high as a PG.......he really doesn't facilitate the offense, he doesn't set up teammates for shots.......I'd have to think about guys I'd start in front of him at that position though.

Im pretty sure he does set up teamates, do you not watch the games

I've watched him play about 5 games this year. He simply isn't a PG. They play him there at times......but he doesn't really set up teammates like a traditional guard does.

Well from what i seen hes pretty decent at it.

He's not bad at anything on the court......he's an amazing player.

He's just not a natural PG. He's better coming off screens and getting open jumpshots.

Problem is, GS doesn't really have a true PG outside of Jack on the roster. But Curry is a REALLY good all around player.

 

[GunsUp_ShootinBlanks]

7 assists per game is pretty decent for someone not considered a point guard. Probably top 10. If he improved his defense significantly, arguably top 5.

 

[shitsho]

He can play both positions. GSW just relies on him to score so much that they take him off the ball to run plays for him.

 

[HammerDown]

Can he stay healthy like he did this year?

 

[shitsho]

To answer your question though its too early to rank him. This is his first full year being healthy. He may turn out to be the next Isiah Thomas.

That kid can ball. Reminds me of Bobby Hurley from Duke. Just an average looking guy, skinny, buggy eyes but can seriously play some bb.

[MarkOU]

Never mentioned anything about stats. Curry was skinny and funny lookin in the eyes, like Hurely. Thought I already explained this.

back at ya

 

[shitsho]

Bobby Hurley!!?? Steph has way more game than Hurley. Hurley was over hyped. Kidd and Nash ate him up in college.

 

[MJ23]

I think he is ranked 2nd behind Paul
