Curry vs. Watson vs. Randolph & The Upside Rookies vs. Curry in December

As the Warriors begin the official Curry-instead of-Monta campaign heading into Christmas (textbook) and Marcus Thompson pens the Warriors' desired slam on Monta Ellis-as-point guard (no link, tho I love me some MTII), it's a good time to take a gander at the team's intended replacement for Ellis. Smart hyped GQ Hotdog as a true point guard loudly and clearly to the Detroit broadcast team last night while Curry hyped himself as the team's second SCORING option. Uh huh.


December Per 48 min
C.J. Watson
34.3 MPG, 18.6 PPG, 5.8 REB, 3.8 AST, 2.60 STL,
1.4 TO, 2.71 A/TO, 3.6 PF, .521 FG%, .577 AFG%

Stephen Curry
35.7 MPG, 18.2 PPG, 4.8 REB, 4.2 AST, 3.26 STL,
4.0 TO, 1.05 A/TO, 4.2 PF, .463 FG%, .519 AFG%

Oh yeah, and Anthony Randolph is at 4.6 AST/48 min and has an incredible 3.67 A/TO ratio.

Assists per game among rookies in December
Jennings - 6.7 (38.5 MPG)
Flynn - 6.0 (30.0)
Evans - 6.0 (35.5)
Collison - 3.8 (18.6)
Teague - 3.8 (14.2)
Curry - 3.1 (35.7)
Maynor - 2.8 (10.2)
Harden - 2.8 (25.8)
Lawson - 2.7 (19.4)
Holiday - 2.0 (22.5)

Curry's A/TO ratio is the absolute worst on this list.
Curry's A/TO in December is dead last among rookie "point" guards.

By a lot.
