Curry isn’t worried about getting shots

Stephen Curry has done the research. The Warriors’ point guard pored over the numbers, reviewed the personnel and checked the tendencies.

It all added up: Even with four-time NBA scoring champion Kevin Durant in the lineup, Curry shouldn’t have to take many fewer shots this season.

“I did some advanced analytics,” Curry said Tuesday night during a Q&A with former Sports Illustrated columnist Rick Reilly at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference on Pier 48. “There’s plenty of shots to go around.”

Durant hoisted 19.2 shots per game with Oklahoma City last season, twice the average of the Warriors’ 2015-16 starting small forward, Harrison Barnes, who’s now with Dallas. Still, Curry hardly will need to overhaul his game to accommodate Durant’s shooting.

Numbers suggest that the Warriors would best be served by Curry, who shot 50.4 percent from the field last season, bypassing only the occasional off-the-bounce jumper he is famous for attempting.

An analysis from USA Today showed that Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green would have to refine their shot selection only slightly to afford Durant the 10 more shots per game than Barnes attempted last season — not to mention that Durant was highly efficient on post-up shots, a distinct weakness for the Warriors last season.

Such is the luxury of adding another elite scorer to the best shooting team in NBA history.

“It’ll be a different way of going about our style,” Curry said, “but there are plenty of shots to go around, plenty of opportunities for everybody to shine.”
