5. A drastic jump in team 3-point shooting percentage

Let’s get the obvious one out of the way here: The league’s second-worst three-point shooting team will vastly improve in this regard with Curry on the floor.

As a career 43.5% three-point shooter, Curry alone can carry his team out of the depths of shooting from beyond the arc by igniting a few of his patented ‘Curry flurries’.

However, aside from Curry’s improved shooting, perhaps even more valuable is his spacing, a term that has been coined ‘gravity’.

By drawing so much attention from defenders, Curry frees up the floor and creates open opportunities for his teammates.

A rising tide lifts all boats.
