As the younger brother of league superstar Stephen Curry, Cesculy's growth trajectory can be described as very bumpy. Although he also made a name for himself in college, before the 2013 draft, Cescuri underwent surgery on his right tibia, which ultimately led to his regrettable defeat.
Cescuri's career began with a non-guarantee contract with the Warriors, and that was just the beginning of a tough journey. He was then cut three times, failing twice to reach a second short 10-day contract and barely joining the Kings on a basic salary in July 2015. This was followed by a season in which the team did not renew his contract and left tibia surgery. It wasn't until he joined the Blazers in 2018 and played well with the team in the playoffs that Cescuri really gained a foothold in the league.
In July 2019, the Lone Ranger signed a four-year, $32 million contract with Cescuri, and he did not disappoint the team, continuing his excellent performance in the Blazers. And just as his career was on the upward trajectory, in November 2020, the team traded him to the 76ers somewhat unexpectedly. Just when people think that his career may be a wave of rebirth, Cescuari dispels everyone's doubts with his continuous and stable play.
In the playoffs last season, Thesculi, who has reached the age of establishment, finally ushered in his own highlight period, averaging 18.8 points per game, an overall shooting rate of 57.8%, and a three-point shooting rate of 50.6%, becoming the most relied on backcourt force for the 76ers. This season's statistics continue to grow, shooting 61.2% in eight games and a terrifying 53.7% from three-point range. And Cescuri's role in the team is also increasing, the proportion of ball possession has increased significantly, the offensive means have become more and more diverse, and he is now the first person in the team's backcourt and is gradually moving towards the ranks of All-Star defenders.
Cesculy's upbringing is an inspirational example. As a failed draft, Cescuri did not bow to fate, but completed a gorgeous transformation through his tenacious will, and finally won his own place on the highest stage in the basketball world.
