On Saturday night, Seth Curry tied a season-high in scoring with 22 points off the bench. Curry’s traditional statistics are by no means impressive. He is only averaging 6.6 points per game, but his efficiency is remarkable. Curry is currently third in the NBA in three-point percentage, yet he is only attempting 2.9 threes per game.
One can argue that increasing Curry’s attempts could significantly reduce his efficiency. However, the data significantly debunks that viewpoint. In fact, Curry has shot over 40% from deep in every single game this season in which he attempted 6 or more threes.
