Those guys had crazy mental toughness and athleticism. Very impressive, I'll give you that, but they still got exposed. It'd be even worse now. Most modern players are more athletic, skilled and better shooters than that era of play. No hand checking rules would make it even harder for shorter players like them to defend.You should look up Spud Webb or Muggsy Bogues.
An average height PG like Curry would look like a giant next to them. No screens needed, just constant death from the 3pt line.
The main advantages the protagonist might have are lower passes and maybe easier steals? Harder steal from? Anything else?
