Philadelphia may be the "City of Brotherly Love," but Golden State is now home for sweet-shooting guards Stephen and Seth Curry, according to reports. The Duke star went undrafted and has now inked a non-guaranteed deal with the Warriors.
Stephen Curry was known as a lights-out shooter since he was drafted out of Davidson in 2009, but became a superstar in the 2013 NBA playoffs as he led an upset of the sixth-seeded Denver Nuggets in the first round, and pushed the eventual Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs to six games.
Last season was Curry's finest as a pro to date, putting up 21.6 points and 6.5 assists per game while drilling 45 percent of his 3-pointers on 7.2 attempts a night. Stephen's brother Seth has starred at Duke the past three years, and although he hasn't received the individual acclaim of his older sibling, Seth is quite the shooter in his own right.
Last season as the top scoring option for the Blue Devils, Seth scored 17.5 points a night, sinking 44 percent of his 3-pointers on a tick over six attempts. Unlike Stephen, however, Seth has yet to master the art of scoring and getting his teammates involved; his career high assists per game average is just 2.4, set during his junior season under coach Mike Krzyzewski.
When asked about possibly playing with his brother Stephen said, "It would be a throwback to high school. We played together one year-I was a senior; he was a sophomore. I guess you could call it a dream come true."
Describing their traits as players, Stephen gave his brother the edge on him defensively. "Some would say he plays better defense me. I'm getting better. He can lock up."
