Seth Curry

Once again, I know that guards aren’t the primary concern for the Jazz, but reliable 3-point shooting most certainly is. Seth Curry may not be as prolific of an offensive threat as his brother, but the Curry shooting gene still flows through him – he shot 42.5 percent from deep this past season and is at 43.2 percent for his career.

That kind of accuracy would be extremely valuable for a Jazz team that needs to add more reliable 3-point shooting, particularly off the bench. Curry would make a nice insurance policy for Dante Exum and possesses plenty of tools to make him a promising player.

And who knows, perhaps in Utah’s renowned development program, the Jazz could truly turn him into Steph Curry lite.

Whether that’s feasible or not, even the current version of Seth would be a nice addition, especially considering that the impending unrestricted free agent made just over $3 million this past season. If he were interested in joining a top team in the West (one that is closer to competing with his brother’s squad than most of the rest of the conference), he could potentially find a nice home with the Jazz.
