He spent numerous seasons in the D-League and his performances were noticed by NBA scouts. Interestingly enough, the Golden State Warriors had the chance to have the two Curry siblings on the same team. However, Seth outrightly rejected the Warriors’ offer and joined another NBA team.

Injuries and bad luck proved to be costly as he lost out on scholarship opportunities. Moreover, Seth Curry has had to grind and showcase his talents in the D-League as well.

Back in 2014, he was given an opportunity by his D-League coach. The coach played him for more than 30 minutes every game and he averaged 24.3 points.

This attracted interest from the NBA with the Sacramento Kings, New Orleans Pelicans, and also the Golden State Warriors offering him a contract in 2015. However, he joined the Kings and not the Warriors as many would’ve thought.

He said, “I didn’t want to go to Golden State. I didn’t want to go back in Steph’s shadow.“Interestingly, he also denied joining Davidson College for the same reason. Instead, he went to Liberty University and played college-level basketball there.
