SLAM: You came back this season a noticeably better player. You can see it through the numbers, and simply watching you play. Do you have a plan each offseason of what to work on? Do you see yourself having any weaknesses?
SC: Oh, yeah! Three years ago, I was never able to drive right or do anything going to my right hand; I was left-hand dominant. So, for two summers, that’s all I worked on pretty much: how can I be more explosive going to my right, or how can I be more efficient with my dribble going to the right? If you gave me a one-on-one opportunity, 99 percent of the time I was going left. I feel comfortable now giving away that scouting report, because I think I’ve opened up other options. Little stuff like that helps me become a better player. Last summer, it was about just creating space. Being efficient with my dribble, in tight spaces, and creating enough separation to get my shot off. The right balance, too, to make whatever move to get into my shot. Being able to go from here to there in one step [Curry points to a row of liquor bottles behind us] goes a long way, especially in the Playoffs. Next year, I might add post moves—but I gotta gain weight, though.

A bit shocking to see him talking about improving his post moves when his defense is still terrible.
And he didn't even talk about his defense as his weakness.
This should be concerning for every Warriors fan. Because he really needs to improve his defense.
