New Orleans associate head coach Darren Erman describes the ultra-brief NBA experience of four Pelicans summer-league players as a “cup of coffee,” but for guard Seth Curry, it’s been more like a sip. Since graduating from Duke University two years ago, the younger brother of the league’s reigning MVP has been signed to 10-day contracts by three teams – Memphis, Cleveland and Phoenix – but has only appeared in four regular season games. Curry’s combined total of 21 minutes of playing time in the NBA equates to less than a single 24-minute half.
To say that Curry hasn’t been given a reasonable chance to show what he can do is an understatement: the perimeter marksman is 1-for-2 from three-point range in the NBA.
