Look at defensive stats. Curry doesn't do shite

Objective stats are more favorable than the old conventional wisdom.
ESPN's Real Plus-Minus loves Curry's defense -- he's currently #3 after Bledsoe and Rubio, and notably far ahead of #8 Chris Paul, with a 1.82 DRPM over Pauls' 0.82 DRPM.
NBA SportVU likes Curry too. If you look at guards with a reasonable amount of defensive action, out of 72 guards ranked by opponent's FG %, Curry is: #9 (less than 5ft); #4 (5-9 ft); #46 (10-14 ft); #12 (15-19 ft); #21 (20-24 ft); #11 (25-29 ft). That is somewhere between very good and elite.
Then look at the 113 guards playing more than 21 min a game. Ranked by Defensive Rating, the top players are Tony Allen, Andre Iguodala and then a tie for #3 between Khris Middleton and (wait for it) Steph Curry.
Curry is even #3 in Steal Rate at 2.1 per game.

I think Curry is an ok defender and it's not a weak spot for him, but you do realize that he generally guards the worst player from the other team? the whole 4th quarter of the OKC game he was guarding Roberson, who literally can't shoot, not westbrook. Now OKC ran picks to switch Curry back to Westbrook, and he did just fine, but the majority of the time Curry guards guys that suck so he can conserve energy on the defensive side of the ball, which can lead to some misleading stats.
