Steph Curry: Our group's collective IQ must get a lot better

The Warriors opened the season with blowout losses at the hands of the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks.

Klay Thompson, the team's smartest player, is out for the entire season with a torn Achilles tendon.

Draymond Green, the team's toughest player, missed the first two games of the season with a foot injury,

Steph Curry's comments are likely pointed at Andrew Wiggins and Kelly Oubre Jr.

I'll guess rookie James Wiseman, the 19-year-old rookie who competed in only three games at the University of Memphis, is included in Curry's criticism.

Over the first two games of the season, Wiggins is 10-for-34 from the field while Oubre Jr. has hit only four of 24 shots.

Curry's disappointment of Wiggins and Oubre Jr. goes beyond poor shooting.

Check out the lack of assists recorded by Wiggins and Oubre Jr.

Both players are averaging only one assist per game in the early season.

That's one assist per 17 shots for Wiggins and one assist per 12 shots for Oubre Jr.

Guys at Rucker Park share the ball more than Wiggins and Oubre Jr.

Offensive basketball in the NBA is a two-part process: 1) the ability to score and 2) the ability to create scoring opportunities for others.

Green is a old 30 also. I love Thompson’s game but doubt he’s the same after this layoff. Without those two, Curry is basically BJ Armstrong. He would be a great missing piece for a number of teams, but I don’t think you can build around him.

I've downgraded GM Myers a bit....DeAngelo and now Wiggins, just terrible fits for this team. Michigan draftee Poole
as well. He's drafted some decent role players late recently, that's about it.

Steph is finding out now what Jimmy Butler knew as soon as he got to Minnesota, Wiggins is overrated, immature, soft, and has a low basketball IQ, Jimmy couldn't wait to get out of there

These players absolutely get paid an in~sane amount of money and they can't even bring intensity to the game...

I saw that Oubre went 0 for 19 from non-dunk shots.


And meanwhile Curry goes 105 for 105 from 3-point land in a SportsCenter video.

If tape isn't doctored might be the most incredible thing I've ever seen.

105 in a row, they asked Kerr about it and he said he knew he would choke, LOL.
