Overview
- In ESPN’s survey of 20 coaches, executives and scouts, Curry received 11 votes to Anthony Edwards’ 8, with Donovan Mitchell getting 1.
- The question gained relevance after Boston’s Jayson Tatum was sidelined for the season by a torn Achilles suffered in last year’s playoffs.
- At 37 and entering his 17th season, Curry’s 2024–25 output—24.5 points, 6.0 assists and 40.8% on high-volume threes—was cited to support his selection.
- An Eastern Conference scout described Curry as still the player who “scares” opponents the most.
- Coverage framed the results as part of a generational transition, with rising stars like Edwards drawing strong support while veterans such as LeBron James and Kevin Durant were not central to the discussion.
