Seems like I need to take Capt. Factorials class for how to present statistics in a professional manner, more than anything else

Good work.

Why are you telling him to take a stats class? You didn't make a statistics-based argument. You didn't even make a numbers-based argument.
But here's one for you: I went back and found every player since 2003 who has played each of their age 20 - 23 seasons. There are 36 of these players. I then calculated their shooting percentages for their age 20 - 23 seasons separately:
Age 20 - 44.8%
Age 21 - 46.6%
Age 22 - 47.3%
Age 23 - 47.6%
There's an obvious trend for increase of shooting percentage from age 20 to age 23, nearly 3 points on average. So it's not particularly unreasonable to suggest that a player will improve his shooting percentage over that time frame - in fact it is to be expected.
THANK YOU.
I didn't argue that his shot would not get better. At all. Find the quote. Please do.
I see what you're trying to do now; differentiate traits of basketball as "passable" or not. But in order to substantiate your claim, you again used circumstantial evidence but we haven't established that good shooting necessitates having a shooter father vs a shooting coach/shooting friend.
What if Dell Curry wasn't around very often, and in fact it was due to nightly shooting matches with Stephen's brother/friend that in fact caused him to develop such a great stroke? What if he played with a brother/friend that was a lot taller, causing Curry to develop a quicker stroke? At the end of the day, Curry still has a good shot and Tyreke has a shot that could be bested by a lot of playground guys with no Dell Curry dad.
But I digress...
If Tyreke comes back and does not play to his previous form, it will definitely hurt him. Out of sight, out of mind, and if the last impression of Tyreke is 10-15 pts, rusty timing, etc, while Curry throws in another big game, it will narrow the margin, whether you guys think it fair or not.
IMO, Tyreke is an easy call because of his steady play. I would say one knock is that aesthetically, Curry's game is better than Tyreke's, and for guys who don't get to watch full games, Curry vs Tyreke is like watching Durant vs. Lebron: Durant is buttery smooth, while Lebron is mostly power.
