Stephen Curry vs. Tyreke....err Beno Udrih

Despite the hype, this is a way more similar comparison.

I love it

The per 36 is very telling. Greatest part is it makes Beno look better & Curry look worse at the same time.

I love beating dead horses.

Yeah.........

If you look at the difference in pace between the 2 teams it’s even more similar.

When they are both pace adjusted to the league average of 95.2 (GSW is at 103.0 and SAC at 96.8) they are basically in a dead heat per 36 minutes.

Udrih : 14.8 PTS / 5.2 AST / 3.1 REB / 1.1 STLS

Curry : 15.3 PTS / 5.3 AST / 4.0 REB / 1.7 STLS

actually

I think if you would look at Curry’s numbers now and Mike bibby early in his career, you’ll find much more simalarities. Keep in mind, Bibby was 20 when he was drafted and Curry is 22

Agreed......

I’ve gandered that way as well. I just thought that the Udrih/Curry comparison is relevant due to the attention given the Curry/Evans debate.

Yeah

Remember talking the Bibby comparison before the draft. Still see it now, although in a completely different (see, wide open) offense than I imagined.

wasn't Curry 21 when drafted?

Could some of you maybe use a condom once in a while?

I like this.

Pretty good stats. They’re similar players.

Tyreke Evans vs. Curry...hmm Corey Maggette

Tyreke: 20.3 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 5.6 ast, 461 % fg, 37.3 min. pg
Corey: 20 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 2.5 ast, 521 % fg, 29.7 min. pg
And I believe Corey has higher PER then Evans. So much about the hype…

This whole exercise of comparing rookies

to guys who have been in the league forever, is pointless.

Aykis.........

I get what you’re saying and totally agree, but for this purpose I was comparing a season to a season.

Regardless of league experience, Udrih and Curry have put up those number this season, right?

I don't like this one as much for comedic purposes.

Beno is a funny comparison because Tyreke is better than him already.
Curry will be better than Maggette but is he yet? Not sure.
Thus, not as funny.
But I’m probably biased.

Maggette is an established scorer in this league. As much as a lot of people wouldn’t want him on your team he is very good. Guys like him have 1 job & that’s to get you points. He does it very well similar to a Jamal Crawford who has also been scrutinized for his scoring ways but just needed the right fit. The difference is guys like that are better as a 6th man because they don’t make other players better. Tyreke does & is getting better & better at it.

I love beating dead horses.
