Steph Curry has always been a point guard — but since Draymond Green was forced to sit out 23 consecutive games, Curry has had to become more of a true point guard.
A rough definition of a “true” point guard is someone who primarily seeks to set up his teammates. While a pass-first-score-second skill set has always been within his wheelhouse, his nature as a scorer who can get flaming hot in a matter of seconds has always took precedence; if defenses sell out in an attempt to douse his flame, passing to a teammate left open was a welcome byproduct, but almost never the primary intention.
