The Golden State Warriors have been needing some shooting punch in the lineup. Though they're in the top half of the NBA in three-point percentage, it's been an effort largely carried by their top shooters.
Jimmy Butler is the only Warrior above 40%, shooting 43.6% on only two attempts per game, while Moses Moody, Steph Curry, Will Richard, and Brandin Podziemski are all around 39%. After those five players, the drop-off is glaring, with the next best shooter being Jonathan Kuminga at just 33%.
Especially with Curry out for at least a few more games. Luckily for the Warriors, though, there is another Curry waiting in the wings to finally make his entrance.
As announced by Shams Charania on X, Seth Curry, the younger brother of Steph, is set to re-sign with the Warriors for the remainder of the season on Monday. Curry was initially on the Warriors' roster through training camp and the preseason, but had to be cut right before the regular season began due to salary-cap restrictions.
It was reportedly in place that Curry would re-sign with the Warriors once there was enough salary cap space to make him the 15th member of the team. Although that timeframe was initially set for mid-November, it is better late than never.
Once Steph returns from his injury, the Curry brothers will finally get to share the court for the first time in their lengthy NBA careers. The sons of legendary NBA shooter Dell Curry have carved out incredible roles for themselves in the league, with Steph obviously being a superstar while Seth has had multiple seasons in the upper echelons of three-point shooting.
Seth Curry is projected to provide immediate offense from the perimeter for the Warriors. Over the course of his 11-year NBA career, Curry has shot an incredible 43.3% from beyond the arc, good for the 7th-best mark in NBA history and an entire percentage point above his brother, who currently clocks in at 14th.
Just last season, Seth led the NBA by shooting 45.6% from three across 68 games with the Charlotte Hornets — the 13th best mark by anyone in the 11 years since he's been in the league.
Some of the Warriors, such as Buddy Hield and Al Horford, have been intensely struggling this year with their shot, even considering their offensive roles are largely to just be consistent shooters.
If Curry can remain a top-notch shooter like he has been his entire life, he'll have an immediate role waiting for him to feast off of his brother's gravity and the passing of Draymond Green and Butler.
