Philadelphia 76ers guard Seth Curry knows exactly what his role is playing alongside bigger stars such as Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons.
Seth Curry has been playing the best basketball of his career so far with the Sixers. To date, he is averaging almost 16 points per game on an efficient 51% shooting.
Clearly, Curry has become an important player in the current Sixers team. And while he is also well aware that Philly is still Embiid and Simmons' team, Curry is taking the burden of being the go-to guy when the pair isn't around with pleasure.
“I think I’m a pretty versatile player. I can catch and shoot, stretch the floor, play off guys who draw a lot of attention like Joel [Embiid] and Ben [Simmons],” Curry explained via HoopsHype. “When those guys are out, I feel like I can play in the pick-and-roll. My mid-range game is pretty good. I think I can put the ball on the floor and score. I just pride myself on being able to do a lot of different things offensively and taking good shots.”
Curry is also thrilled to have joined a group that “fits” his abilities as two-way guard. For the 31-year-old, everything has been going well for him with the Sixers at this point.
“It’s been good. It’s a good opportunity for me. [The Sixers] They kind of really need what I do specifically, so it’s been a great role for me, and I’ve been able to take advantage of it,” he concluded.
With the long season ahead, Curry is looking forward to being able to help the Sixers win games, especially with Simmons still out of the picture.
