Seth Curry
Positionally and defensively, Seth Curry isn’t exactly the fit the Jazz need. But in terms of adding a legitimate deep-ball threat, the younger Curry brother would be a menace. He’s proven as much in his time in the NBA. This season he posted a blistering 45 percent clip from 3-point range, the same he did in 2015-16 with the Sacramento Kings. Previously with the Dallas Mavericks, he converted on 42.5 percent of his looks on a career-high 4.6 attempts per game.
Simply put, he can drain them from the perimeter with the best of them. And while he wouldn’t be a flashy scorer or even a starter for the Jazz, he’s a guy that could come off the bench and either create gravity or drain threes with the best of them. That’s definitely a role player the Jazz could use moving forward.
Curry is unrestricted so he is free to go wherever he pleases, and while he’ll likely command more than his current $2.8 million contract after a successful year in Portland, he still seems like someone that the Jazz could get at a reasonable price. If he could be wooed to Utah and the Jazz wanted to add someone who merely checked the sniper box emphatically, he would be a perfect addition.
Not to mention, who better to help the Jazz ascend the Western Conference standings than the brother of the mighty Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry? Surely he’d know of some weaknesses that could give the Jazz a major edge, right?
That may or may not be true, but either way Seth Curry’s 3-point prowess alone makes him an intriguing target.
