Stephen Curry

Stephen Curry is a generational shooter whose three-point gravity completely changes how defenses have to play. He creates advantages both on and off the ball, using relocations, handoffs, and screens to constantly pressure the defense.

Offensive strengths

• Deep three-point shooting off the dribble and off the catch.
• Elite off-ball movement through relocations and cuts.
• Pick-and-roll creation that bends defenses toward half-court.
• Elite ball-handling skills to create space for himself to get his shot off.

Impact on teammates

• Opens driving lanes for slashers because defenders stay glued to him.
• Makes bigs more effective as screeners and short-roll passers.
• Forces constant defensive communication, creating lots of breakdowns.
