Cavaliers sign undrafted Seth Curry to 10-day deal

CLEVELAND

The Cavaliers signed undrafted rookie Seth Curry to a 10-day contract on Friday, at least temporarily giving the Cavs five players from the 2013 draft.

Curry is the younger brother to Steph, the Warriors’ All-Star point guard. Their father, Dell, played one season with the Cavs in the late 1980s.

Curry has spent most of this season in the Development League, averaging 19.1 points and 5.9 assists for the Santa Cruz Warriors. He is widely considered an accomplished shooter despite making just 36 percent of his 3-pointers this season in the D-League (43 percent shooter overall).

He has been playing point guard, which the Cavs believe has impacted his percentages. He’s only 6-foot-1, but the Cavs are intrigued with his shooting ability and will play him off the ball alongside guys such as Jarrett Jack and Dion Waiters.

Curry gives the Cavs five rookies from last summer’s draft class and is the third player from Duke on the Cavs’ roster (joining Kyrie Irving and Luol Deng).
