Curry is actually a pretty good defender. Give him time. If he keeps this up for another few years, he will be an all time great. The scary thing is quite a bit better this year than last year. His shooting line this year is unbelievable. He's hitting almost 46% from three and he takes a ton of tough ones.
The Warriors tweaked their offense and Green facilitates a lot of the offense while Curry and Thompson run around screens. Draymond Green is a superstar role player. 14.6, 9.5, and 7.3 while being one of the best defensive players in the league.
Agreed, just because he's small doesn't mean he's a bad defender. He's top 5 in the league in steals. He may not be as versatile in the positions he can guard, but his scoring is so explosive he is most certainly a + over any other guard.
Ultimately, the goal is to score more points than the other guy. Curry is so over the top good at that, being serviceable on D is enough to be elite overall. As Roadie said, he's actually above average at it, so there really isn't a knock on his game right now.
