That is what happens when you lose key contributors such as Gary Payton II and Otto Porter Jr. Steve Kerr has struggled to get production from the second unit as the Warriors’ bench has been a mess thus far. There have been a few issues contributing to the team’s struggles in the early going. They have yet to find their form as the Warriors are 9-10, but they have started to find their footing in recent games. But with Damian Lillard’s significant increase in his attempts, this will be one great debate for next season.įor now, Stephen Curry still stands as the best deep 3-point shooter.The 2022-23 NBA season has been a struggle thus far for the reigning NBA Champion Golden State Warriors. It’s hard to compare both players as one missed an entire season and who knows how he would have played without Kevin Durant for the first time in a few years. Before 2018-19, he made a total of zero 3-pointers from 30+. On the other hand, he has only been shooting this well for only one season, especially in the playoffs. If we’re just talking about peak for peak, Lillard has been better. This season, however, he went 53-of-125, which is at 42.4 percent. Stephen Curry would have had more 3-pointers made, attempted, and at a much higher efficiency. #nba #NBATwitter #PortlandTrailBlazers #DamianLillard /zunjXWDsNrīefore this season, Damian Lillard was 50-of-151, which is at 33.1 percent.

This is also why, since the 2013-14 season, he has been first in 3-point gravity, per BBall-Index.īut what is surprising the most is how efficient he is on certain types of shots. He has been a threat for way downtown for the past five seasons. To put some perspective on how ridiculous that is, the league average is 35.8 on every 3-pointer. This is good for a ridiculous 41.9 percent. With regular-season and playoffs combined, Curry has made a shocking 75-of-196 30+ footers. People must have forgotten how great he is from deep. #nba #NBATwitter #StephenCurry #goldenstatewarriors /vwxzBBdgGa Here are Stephen Curry's stats for all his 30+ shots from 14-15, split into 30-34, 35-39 and combined.
