After leaving Curry, the shooting percentage has dropped across the board, and top shooters can't escape the law

Many players join the Warriors and their stats improve, especially in terms of shooting percentage. When Durant joined the Warriors, his three-point shooting percentage increased by more than a dozen percentage points in the playoffs in his first year. Including many players who have not proven themselves in the league, they have been able to perform very well after joining the Warriors. Some players on two-way contracts have even earned big contracts in the future after playing for the Warriors for a year or two.

This proves that the Warriors' system is suitable for any player with character. It's not so much the Warriors' strong system, but Curry's strong ability to attract defense, which creates easy shooting opportunities for them, which makes their shooting percentage greatly improved.

Playing next to Curry has no shortage of open shots. Because Curry will firmly contain the defense of two or three people on the court, playing with Curry often gets a lot of open opportunities. You must know that the shooting percentage of open space shooting and shooting in front of defense is completely different. After Hield joined the Warriors this season, his shooting percentage has also improved significantly. Hield is a very accurate three-point shooter in his own right, shooting 40 percent from three-point range in his career. But after joining the Warriors this season, he shot a terrifying 47 percent from three-point range.

But there are also some players who leave the Warriors and fade out of the league very quickly, because without Curry to help them create space for them, they will have obvious discomfort in the face of tight defense. Thompson left the Warriors to join the Mavericks this season, and even a historic shooter like Thompson has seen a significant drop in his shooting percentage since joining the Mavericks this season.

Last season, many thought Thompson didn't shoot well from the field, but he also shot 38.7 percent from three-point range, and this season Thompson's shooting percentage has slipped to 37.3 percent. In addition, the shooting percentage also slipped by 1.5 percentage points. Although Doncic and Irving are also around him to create shooting opportunities for him, it is clear that the two of them can't match the opportunities created by Curry. Curry often creates bigger openings for his teammates.

And Thompson and Curry had a lot of cross-running tactics when they were paired with the Warriors. Opponents tend to get caught up in the selection when defending both of them, and most players will choose to go after Curry. So Thompson played next to Curry and he got a better chance. Even Thompson can't escape the law of declining shooting percentage after leaving Curry.

That's why a lot of players miss their time with the Warriors after they leave the team. After playing with the Warriors, many players didn't have any complaints about the Warriors. They all thought their time with the Warriors was extremely enjoyable. The Warriors have helped many players realize their championship dreams over the years, such as Otto Porter, Bjelica and so on, who were almost retired. That's the greatest thing about the Warriors, they're really an all-inclusive team.
