Curry isn’t a true point guard, but he definitely fits the bill of somebody who could thrive in Philadelphia’s rotation. He’s a knockdown shooter from deep who could work harmoniously with their current core as an ample floor spacer and secondary ball handler.
Largely overshadowed by his older brother, Seth emerged as a key rotational piece with the Kings last season and declined his $1 million player option for this season in favor of seeking a larger deal this offseason. With that said, he’s likely not going to chase a deal that exceeds the typical payment for a backup guard, and given that he provides an intriguing boost of versatility and shooting, he could be a nice pickup from Philly’s perspective.
Curry has the size needed to guard either guard spot on the outside, and albeit he’s not a phenomenal player on that side of the ball, he’s certainly capable of producing with solid defenders behind him. His shooting on the other hand, allows him to create his own shots at times on the outside, while possessing solid handles and a decent passing ability that makes him capable of carrying some point guard duties.
With facilitating likely being a team effort more than anything with Simmons being introduced as a point forward of sorts and the Sixers striving for a highly flexible rotation in today’s ever-changing league, a sharpshooter in reserve who can function as a playmaker when called upon is a sound investment.
