Steph Curry noted that Spencer’s ability to handle the ball and run the offense recalls Jack’s best moments with the Warriors.

Steph Curry admiration fuels Spencer

Steph Curry continued to highlight Spencer performance after Thursday’s practice. “It’s incredible to watch him. We’ve seen him during summers, in workouts, when he’s been on the court for short periods. He has a presence that lets you know he understands the game,” Curry said.
