Seth Curry, Sacramento Kings

Position: SG

Age: 25

2015-16 Stats: 15.7 minutes, 6.8 points, 1.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.1 blocks

Seth Curry is starting to make a name for himself.

Forever in the shadow of his brother, Stephen Curry, the 2-time NBA MVP, Seth is finally starting to play without worrying about comparisons or expectations associated with his family’s rich basketball history.

Curry really came on at the end of the season, highlighted by a stellar 20 point, 15 assist game in a win against the Suns on April 11.

After declining his $1 million player option for the 2016-17 season, Curry is in line for his first big contract since entering the NBA. With the Kings already having Ben McLemore and, according to my predictions, signing Tyler Johnson, it could be up to another team to hand Curry that payday.

My bet is on the Houston Rockets sending an offer sheet Curry’s way once they strike out on the big names they are pursuing, relying on him to be the primary ball handler on the second unit.
