He’s definitely going to help us at times, but this wasn’t his night, and we went in another direction.”Although it’s very early in the season, it is disheartening to see a seasoned player such as Curry struggle to see playing time in a lineup which could definitely benefit from a shooter with his skill set. Seth, playing with his brother, started strong.Starting with a quad injury to Stephen Curry, Seth stepped up and scored 14 points in a nearly flawless performance with 6-of-7 shooting, including two shots from beyond the arc. The Warriors re-signed Curry on a one-year contract Monday after he split with them just before camp. He debuted in front of his home crowd the next day.
