I hate to be rude, but this is a silly, overblown post. Yeah, he's averaging 3.8 TOs this year, but that's not a signal of some major decline. Why?

Well, first, we're 20 games into the season, and the rotations are changing around quite a bit. He's playing with people he hasn't played with very often, especially Saric. Let's actually see what's what further into the season.

Second, he's actually averaged 3.8 TOs before. Was that the sign of something terrible? No, it was the 13-14 season, and he was named an all-star.

Third, we should consider how many turnovers he had in previous seasons. He averages 3.2 TOs per game for his career. 3.8 is more, but it's really not that much more.

Fourth, many high usage players have lots of turnovers. Durant is averaging 4 this year, and Giannis is averaging 4.1.

Also, far from being in decline, Curry is having one of the best offensive seasons of his career, averaging almost 30 per game shooting over 43% from 3 and over 94% from the line. All of these numbers are above his career averages.
