He did not live up to expectations with the Minnesota Timberwolves after entering the NBA as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 draft, but believes his role within Steve Kerr's system will showcase his strengths.

"For him, there's been a lot of conversations, especially coming out of the trade last year and this offseason -- I know he's heard a lot of the noise on where he fits in our long-term plans or if he's going to get moved or all the other nonsense," Steph Curry said Monday. "I've always been in the camp of he has so much to prove in terms of taking the next step in his career and organization and with the potential that we all have in terms of unlocking some of the things that will help us be a winning basketball team and him having a huge part in that.
"For him, it's the theme of just get better, commit to what's going to get us as a team to the next level and where he can really show his value and his ability out there on the floor and kind of put all the doubters to rest."
