Philadelphia 76ers star Seth Curry is off to a fantastic start and is on pace for record-breaking numbers, not even his brother has done. The younger Curry has been nothing but fantastic for the Sixers so far this season and his shooting numbers have been nothing but a breath of fresh air as they continue to wiggle their way out of all the Ben Simmons drama.
Seth has been absolutely on fire this season. The 31-year-old has shot 61.6 percent from the field while shooting 53.1 percent from outside the arc with an average of 17.8 points per game. And per StatMuse, no one has ever finished a season averaging 15 points per game on 60 percent shooting and 50 percent from deep. Not even two-time MVP and Seth's older brother Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors.

Seth has been carrying the scoring load for the Sixers so far. In nine games, he has started all of them and has been on target with his shooting. Aside from his poor evening against the New York Knicks where he finished with just four points, the Duke alum has scored in double-digits in the rest of Philly's games, including a 28-point explosion against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
On Thursday, on the road against the Detroit Pistons, Seth Curry was once again on fire and lit up the scoreboard with a game-high of 23 points on 9-of-14 shooting while knocking down four triples.
It's been a career season for the younger Curry and I'm pretty sure Steph, as well as the rest of the family, is more than proud.
