Warriors’ Steph Curry Mentions Brother Seth, Jrue Holiday, Patrick Beverley in the List of Best NBA Defenders

Magic’s comments garnered a lot of agreement, as fans have enjoyed watching Steph Curry this season. Curry missed much of the previous season last year due to a hand injury.

In his absence, and without Klay Thomspon, the Warriors ended the season with the worst record in the NBA. For their poor performances, they were able to secure the number two overall draft pick in the 2020 draft and selected James Wiseman.
