Sure, but Curry also absolutely lit up top level competition and Podz didn't.Not sure I have one. I don’t think Cam Whitmore applies. Probably would’ve been Wallace a bit earlier. Right now it’s Podz as I am just kinda suddenly choosing to believe in his crazy shooting/floater + NBA spacing (that might free up the paint enough) + good size for a guard. He feels like one of those players you look back and go “huh, I guess nobody should be surprised he’s a blowtorch but here we are.”
Just another note on Podz: both Steph and Dame came from nothing schools. Not to mention Steve Nash.
I did a stats dive into Podz/Curry a week ago to try and find parallels and it's not really close, especially when you look at Steph in big games and when you compare their shot volume.
