Nash is better then S Fancy, or Cutturnover Mobley

I commented on potential and not specifically athleticism. That's why I mentioned talent and size as well. The players you mentioned had outlier talent coming into the league.

If Steph Curry wasn't a uniquely talented shooter his ceiling with the same fundamentals would be JJ Reddick. Magic/Bird/Dirk were all unique talent for their size. In other words, high potential players. It's not about athleticism, it's just that you have to find someone that has the building blocks of an all time great.

With a good organization you can turn a raw Kawhi Leonard into a superstar but Jimmer Fredette was never going to be that

 

Clairvoyant about the Fancy.

 

Agreed! Duncan Dirk and Harden were/are sure gifted with insane long arms though! That's something that can't be taught. Mix that with great fundamentals and they were just amazing!

 

Why not just compare him to Seth and Del?

It’s Steph’s elite dribbling that separates him from the likes of Seth, Del, and Redick. Hell, I’m willing to bet his father preached to him that to be better than him, he needs to work equally on dribbling better than him. So, without being a “uniquely talented shooter”, Steph’s ceiling was Redick with Elite Dribbling….whatever that is, but it’s much more than Redick.

but NBA-level Elite Driibbling is hard to achieve, otherwise Seth would be a much better dribbler too.

relatively short shooters need dribbling to take them to another level.

I say all this because it is tightening up his dribble that I want Green to focus on. I’m not holding my breath for elite dribbling on Kyrie, Harden, Paul, Kidd, Nash, Steph level, just need him to cut out the bad habit of showing ball too much and protecting his gather more, then go from there.
