NBA Draft 2019: Top 25 undrafted players since 2000

Remember George Karl’s comments that the younger Curry brother would only be in the NBA for a “couple of years”? It looked that way for the former Duke Blue Devil, who played just six total games in his first two seasons as a pro, while spending time in the D-League (now G-League).

But after getting some actual playing time with the Sacramento Kings, the 6-foot-2 guard landed with a Dallas Mavericks team in 2016 that was rebuilding.

Even though the team won just 33 games that season, Seth Curry established himself as a legit NBA player. He averaged 12.8 points per game and shot 48 percent from the field, while starting 42 games. Stephen Curry’s little brother missed the following season with a leg injury before playing with the Portland Trailblazers.

There’s enough of a sample size from the last three seasons (15 points per game per 36 minutes) to show that Curry is a legitimate backup guard option. His career 44 percent shooting from 3-point range is very valuable in the modern-day NBA. At 28 years old, he should have another five years of efficient basketball going for him in the league.

Being the younger brother of a future Hall of Famer can be very tough to deal with, but Curry has established his own legacy in the NBA. He might not be as good as his older brother, but he’s certainly here to stay.

Career stats (192 games): 9.3 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists per game
