Stephen Curry addresses ‘down year,’ wants more pick and rolls

The two-time reigning NBA MVP leads the league in free-throw percentage (93.3) and three-pointers made (120), ranks 12th in scoring (24.1) and is tied for 18th in assists (5.8). [...] Curry set a lofty standard last season when he became the first unanimous MVP in league history. Though much of his dip in production is the result of playing alongside four-time NBA scoring champion Kevin Durant, Curry recognizes an important reality: "For the most part this season, whether I scored 16 or whether I scored 40, I felt pretty confident with the way that I helped our team win," Curry said after shootaround Wednesday. Adding one of the NBA's top two or three players would outweigh any personal aim. Thirty-two games into the Durant era, Curry is scoring 6 fewer points than last season and attempting more than 3 fewer shots per game. Whether I'm getting shots or whether we're manufacturing ball movement, that's a strength of ours, regardless of how teams play us.
