The Steph Curry vs Monta Ellis Debate

Pretty soon, the Golden State Warriors are going to have to make a decision on who to keep between the two guards. CSN takes a look at the inter-personal drama: “It’s been out there since Day 1 of training camp, and it hasn’t gone away: The whole Monta Ellis-Stephen Curry relationship thing. On the court or off, compatibility is the issue. We all know about the playing together part, and how that’s going to be a challenge. But what about whether they like each other or not? I’ve been asked plenty by Warriors fans whether or not Ellis likes Curry. Others have told me flat-out that Ellis doesn’t pass to Curry much — and sometimes even looks him off. Some point out Ellis and Curry don’t interact much on the court, except for perfunctory gestures. Anyway, nobody’s saying the two are in an icy feud, but it’s obvious they’re not tight, either. And you know what? I could understand if Ellis is struggling with the whole Curry thing. In Ellis’ place, I’d likely be, too. Think about what Ellis’ point of view might be. Not saying it’s right, just saying what it might be.”

    curry absolutely no question is better than ellis. He is more dominate than ellis and he is only a rookie

  • NBAknow

    I hope Warriors do trade Monta, he’s a great guard that a lot of other teams would love to have. Top ten in scoring avg, Top 5 in steals!!! Playing with Warriors is not giving him enough national exposure…and never will. He would make several other teams Championship caliber. Warriors please keep Curry. We’ll (???) take Ellis.

    Lol, Ed, what a stupid comment. You can teach shooting but not athleticism? Players spend decades learning how to shoot. Developing an athletic body can be done by putting in time in the gym. Seriously, what kind of comment was that? Lmao.

    Monta Ellis is a much better players. Defensively and offensively. He is a better scorer, and a better defender. The only thing Curry has over Ellis is shooting and flashy passes.
    Monta Ellis, averages more points and rebounds. Steph Curry averages more assists.
    I’d rater take Monta Ellis who is a better scorer and averages one less assist, than Steph Curry who can shoot.

    Ok Steph Curry is good, but Monta is a better player. He dunks it from the free throw line, can make threes, and flat out is a junkyard dog when it comes to defense. I’d take Monta, but he’s to much money so that is the only reason Curry has a chance.
