Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry went on Fox Sports 1's show Undisputed to share a bit about his first season as a starter, and shine light on some of his thoughts regarding his brother Steph, who is in the waiting line for an opponent after securing his third consecutive NBA Finals appearance.
The 26-year-old was baited into answering the typical sibling rivalry question — asked if he feels he's a better shooter than his brother Steph.
The Duke standout unequivocally said “I think so.”
While he has shot the ball better than his brother this season, Seth is still a mountain of personal records and many games away from equaling his back-to-back MVP brother — but confidence is never lacking in the Curry househould.
| Player | Games | Field Goal % | 3-Point % | Free-Throw % | True Shooting % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seth Curry | 70 | 48.1 | 42.5 | 85 | 60.1 |
| Stephen Curry | 79 | 46.8 | 41.1 | 89.8 | 62.4 |
Seth has the edge on field goal and three-point percentage, but is averaging almost half as many points (12.8 PPG) as his All-Star brother (25.3 PPG), while shooting the ball at a much smaller volume.
Maybe it's wishful thinking, but the Mavericks would be delighted if Seth could grow to be any bit of the shooter that his brother has become throughout his eight-year NBA career.
Seth has made 188 regular season threes while his brother Steph has 1917 to his name, not to mention the zero-to-295 playoff disparity between the two.
Work is yet to be done to be in that same category, just about any way we look at it.
