Curry is Steve Nash with more shot attempts and a little more athletic ability.
That's not a knock on Wardell Jr. Historically, great shooters didn't have the volume he does. He shoots often and at a higher percentage so his volume stats AND efficiency stats are top-notch. He's great at what he does, but he's not Jordan/Kobe/LeBron/Magic levels of transcendent.
Allen Iverson got Eric Snow, Jumaine Jones and an old Dikembe Mutombo to the Finals and took a game of Shaq/Kobe. Not sure Wardell is getting that caliber of team past the first round back then or now.
