. Seth Curry. A-. . Dallas Mavericks

Seth Curry has been one of the most promising additions to the Mavericks this year so far and he has hardly even shown a glimpse of his full potential. In only his 2nd season of NBA action aside from a combined 4 games in the two seasons previous), Curry has made his name known around the league.

For the first time ever, Seth is being looked at as a legitimate NBA player and not just the brother of an All-Star. Seth, like his brother Stephen Curry, is really showing his abilities behind the 3-point arc. Currently shooting 42% from behind the arc, Seth has really taken this team by storm since becoming a regular starter.

Since Seth has become a full time starter, the Dallas Mavericks are 9-5. Seth has also been averaging over 15 points per game in that time frame, whereas his season average is less than 12. Curry has given so much life to this offense and it has paid off in a big way.

For all these reasons, I have given Seth Curry an A- at this point in the season. He started off very slow to the point where people were even questioning his $5 million contract. But, as time has gone on, he has finally settled into the Rick Carlisle offense and we can expect to see him keep up the good work for the remainder of the season.
