On April 12, Beijing time, the Warriors spent Curry's injury suspension stage at the end of the regular season, and they locked in the third place in the West to advance to the playoffs, but the journey of the playoffs, there is no doubt that the Golden State team is waiting for Curry's return, he is the guarantee of whether the team can impact the championship.
Although Curry surpassed Ray Allen's record this season, topped the NBA's all-time three-point list and became the first player in NBA history to hit at least 3,000 three-pointers, Curry's outside projection this season has not been outstanding.
Curry is still impeccable in terms of production, he is still the league's three-pointer this season, and the average of 25.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game this season is also good. It's just that Curry's shooting percentage is only 43.7 percent, and his free throw shooting rate of 92.3 percent is quite outstanding, but his three-point shooting rate from the outside is only 38 percent.
If you change to other players, it is quite good to have a 38% three-point shooting, but it is not ideal for Curry, especially for a period of time in the season, Curry's outside projection is extremely bad, resulting in him also quietly creating two sad records.
First, Curry's three-point crosshairs are only 38%, setting a career record for the worst three-point crosshairs in a single season, not counting the season in which only 5 games were played due to injury in the 2019-20 season.
Second, for the first time in a full season of Curry's career, there were less than 40% of three-point crosshairs, which is also enough to see the stability of Curry's crosshairs outside the three-point line in previous seasons.
For the Warriors, they will play against the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs, Jokic is an excellent superstar, but the Nuggets' two core Murray and Porter Jr. are difficult to return, and the Warriors are still a more optimistic side to advance. The Warriors, who have home-court advantage, want to qualify, and Curry is expected to return to catch up with the playoffs, so his performance is still the key to the Warriors' promotion.
