Iguodala compliments him, Lee Jenkins (SI) insults him:

According to Iguodala, this win was born nearly two weeks ago, when the Warriors faced the Nuggets and a D-League call-up named Hilton Armstrong made a thoughtful observation at the end of the bench.

"Next time they trap Steph, we need the big to step up and be his release guy, and it's two-on-one," Armstrong said. Then Armstrong entered the game and showed what he was talking about. The Warriors, down to three assistant coaches, paid rapt attention.

"We've had problems finding a release guy to step up to help Steph when he's getting trapped," Iguodala said. "Other guys (saw Armstrong) and were like, 'Oh, man, that's wide open.'" Armstrong, O'Neal and Lee took turns as outlet receivers for Curry on Saturday, helping the offense hum without his usual step-back threes.
