He's not even the most overrated player on his own team. That honor belongs to Roy Hibbert.
I'm so sick of this true point guard crap. Are point guards not allowed to shoot? Are they all supposed to play like Ricky Rubio and Jason Kidd? Are we acting like Magic, Isiah, Nash, Chris Paul etc. don't shoot? If any of those guys could shoot like Curry they would shoot instead of pass every single time. Being a point guard is about decision making and it just so happens that Steph Curry shooting the ball himself is the best option available to his team most of the time, so he does it. Being a pass first point guard doesn't mean you're a true point guard. True point guard is the dumbest fukking phrase on earth.
Oh yeah you're right they would be way better with a true point guard....... say someone like Steve Nash or Rondo or hell RubioNah not really

Nash was averaging around 3.6 TOs in Phoenix, Curry is averaging 4.1. Curry is keeping that team afloat, it's Klay's lack of ball-handling ability and Iggy not being right/aggressive to help out in that area. The main problem with that team is that Thompson has been regressing ever since that first hot-month.A true point guard isn't just some fakkit that passes first, it's someone who actually runs an offense without turning the ball over like a dumbass.
Rubio is just plain fukking trash. Prime Nash at point, Steph at 2, Klay at 3
Three barrage all day

But prime Nash doesn't exist any more......

He can handle the ball out there, and no they wouldn't be better with any other PG. Curry only averaged around 3.2 TOs in the first month, because Klay was pulling his weight, now Curry is forced to do more because Iggy still isn't right from his injury + isn't aggressive enough with the ball and Klay's shooting like garbage - if everyone played up to their abilities, we wouldn't even be talking about how GS needs a true point guard.Currys doing the best he can, and I'm not faulting him for that, I just think this team would be better served with someone else who can actually handle the ball out there.
You obviously haven';t been watching GS games - he's regressed. He shot 38% in January and has been shooting 40% from the field ever since November.I don't think Klay has regressed at all though. I dunno what people want him to do. He's a great jumpshooter and he's a scrappy defender. Not sure what else people want for him to do. He is who he is.
Just cause his shot isn't falling doesn't mean he's regressed, it just means he's not shooting the ball that well. Law of averages.
