Curry will be asked to take on more defensive responsibility this season, CSN Bay Area reports.

Analysis:

New head coach Steve Kerr feels Curry can do more on defense and that it's just never been asked of him. Generally, Curry got the least demanding assignment of the opposing team's smaller players while Klay Thompson defended the more difficult matchups. The downside to giving Curry harder assignments is that it may lead to foul trouble and having the team's best offensive player on the bench.
