Is Stephen Curry’s recent struggles at the rim a cause for concern?

Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter in the history of basketball — which often clouds the fact that he’s pretty darn good at other things, as well.

Perhaps the most overlooked and glossed-over part of Curry’s offensive repertoire is his finishing. For his career, he has made 64.7% of his shots that come from within 3 feet of the rim, per Basketball Reference. That is a testament to the deadly combination of his off-the-dribble juice and the threat of his elite pull-up game.

Due to his small stature and limited verticality, Curry has always had things going against him in terms of basketball skill sets that generally require a modicum of high leaping.
