Kelly Oubre is the only player I’ve seen that simply couldn’t take advantage of Curry’s movement. He would stand where Steph wanted to go instead of cutting and just run into him

DLo

Kelly Oubre. Just extremely dumb and wouldn’t pass the ball to him when he needed to

I said it in the Wisemam thread but anyone with low basketball IQ isn’t going to do well with Steph 

A guard that doesn’t screen, pass, and can’t catch-and-shoot would be the worst combo, since it negates his off-ball ability and doesn’t utilize his gravity. So DeRozan is probably the best player that would have the worst chemistry with him.

To keep the slander train a-rolling, probably Carmelo Anthony. Steph would just never get the ball /s

I’m going with Monta Ellis. Forcing two undersized guards to share the backcourt just didn’t work. It felt like trying to force two puzzle pieces together that were cut from the same side.

I love Russ and Steph.
I could not see them sharing a halfcourt.

Monta Ellis

Kuminga

It was rookie Steph but I’ve never seen someone look Steph off more than Corey Maggette

James Wiseman and Kelly Oubre

Refs. Won’t call a foul

Buminga

It would have to be someone like Demar Derozan. Doesn’t shoot 3s, doesn’t defend, doesn’t set screens off ball or do anything to free Steph up

Anyone who just stands and/or expects to run the offense thru them: Oubre and Kuminga.

If JK would tweak his game to fit the team’s strengths, there’s a good chance he’s still on the Warriors right now. But he thinks he’s basically T-Mac or Kobe out there.

“Your own man want to crush you, that’s a D’Angelo Russell.”

Kelly Oubre had the worst chemistry of any player I’ve ever seen with Steph. He couldn’t understand the relocation 3.

It would never be optimal line up wise but in some alternate timeline Steph is on his knees like Clippers Kawhi watching Russ airball a game winning 3

Marty Conlon

D Lo

Cam Thomas. Certified chucker who is focused on just his buckets when he gets the ball.

The players that haven’t worked are small guards who don’t pass, play D or screen. DLo and Mont Ellis were the worst. Wiseman “should” have worked if he was actually a playable nba player.

Brad Bananamaker

Westbrook

D Lo or Monta Ellis

The thing about Steph is that he’s so elite at off the ball movement, any player with a sense of pace would seamlessly fit well with him. It’s hard to say because even players that put up 20+ shots a game on Steph’s team also take eyes away from Steph, further benefiting his game even more at times. If I had to answer right now, I’d probably choose an older player that has a lack of pace currently, inconsistent and at the tail end of relevancy, but will still demand minutes and the ball, a player like Paul George

Seth Curry

Did Oubre start out like 0-13 on 3’s?

Since everyone pairs well with him i’ll go with the biggest waste of overlapping talent, Magic Johnson. Both guys can make an average offense very good and a good offense elite. But I think of all the superstars in history Magic/Curry combo scales the worse. Would rather have Shaq, Jokic, MJ, Bron, Bird, KG, etc, etc to pair to elevate a squad.

Probably any of the shitty players the warriors org has surrounded him with in his prime. Take your pick

Kuminga

it’s gotta be Kelly Oubre, he just could not learn how to play off him, at all.

Oubre, Wiseman, Kuminga, Lamb are my best guesses.

Oubre is a decent player and I think Kerr didn’t do a great job figuring out how to get him and Curry to coexist, partly because Oubre didn’t seem to have a good feel of how Curry’s gravity stretched the defense on the court.

Kuminga wanted the ball, even though he is best at cleanup and attacking when the defense is scrambling after shots, due to his athleticism. He struggles badly in halfcourt, which is probably why Altanta didn’t want to roll the dice on him against after he played well there. Playing with Steph means unless you’re Durant, Steph is the point of attack, or Draymond-to-Steph. In fact, there’s no situation where Kuminga is the focal point of the offense. He can be good, but he seems to think his game is something that it’s not.

If Kuminga struggled in halfcourt with Steph, you can only imagine what James Wiseman went through. Dude basically barely played basketball for three years. He missed too much development time and did not have a good feel for the pro game. Clueless on what was unfolding, it made him unplayable.

Lamb - out of the NBA sooner than Wiseman - was a gunner who barked at Steph and Draymond. Kerr inexplicably played him 20 mpg in 22-23, in spite of Lamb basically acting as a black hole whenever the ball touched his hands. He didn’t understand the first option of the Warriors’ offense was to get Steph space. Kerr didn’t seem to acknowledge Lamb was roadkill. I’d say he was our Smush Parker, but Smush was way, way better than Lamb.

I’d say Kobe. Anyone that is ball dominate would wreak havoc with their free flow offense. Steph’s ability to draw defenders away would be minimized by someone who will attempt to shoot nearly every time donw the court.

Dunleavy Jr

Cousins

Kyle andersen

Pretty much no-one. Steph spaces the floor like no-one else. I suppose an inefficient ball hog would never pass to Steph and negate a lot of his strengths. So maybe Carmelo Anthony, Allen Iverson etc

But, I mean Jordan Poole (talented but famously bad decision maker/low BBIQ) worked next to Steph, so Steph could honestly enhance any player. I don’t think there’s a player type that doesn’t improve next to him, and his game will work as long as there’s atleast one playmaker on the floor with him, to allow him to work off-ball

His wife.

Personality-wise, it’s Kobe. There’s no way he was ever passing out of iso for Curry to take a 30-foot 3. And the first time he misses a logo 3, Kobe would stop passing him the ball.

Chris Paul; DLo; Kumminga; Wiseman

KD provided they both get paid like 60% of the cap as you have to get a playmaker to maximize both their off ball skills but you also can’t splash out and snag a really good one as you wont have the money (I know I am reaching here but Steph is the GOAT of all-time lists imo so there’s really no good player that he can’t play with)
