who cares about his numbers. JW.. you ever watch the kid play? Can he or cant he?
I mean geeze... if a guy has some glaring fault that says he isnt going to make it in the NBA ok, but Curry already proved he is faster, stronger and has the vert that most of the other guys considered to be more 'elite athletes' and Curry can already play.
I get you dont like him. I think everyone gets you dont like him. Posting a stat breakdown (PS Hollinger sucks) on the kid is going to accomplish what?
He took a no talent team to the sweet 16 completely by himself.. and was one shot away from the final 4. Where's that stat?
Curry can play, he's a good athlete. He's got NBA pedigree, he's a great kid. His worth ethic and heart are already at the NBA level. He's got an NBA skill set.
I always liked him at 8. At this point I would like him at 5 if we could move up. To get him we probably will have too, because NBA GMs are looking at what I just mentioned above, and not some picture your trying to paint in an excel spreadsheet
Fish, I've seen so many guys who I've loved to see play on the college level, but they aren't cut out for the NBA. Charlotte made a habit of drafting them for a while. So has Minny, and where are they?
Curry works as a complimentary piece, but since we don't have a 2010 pick, you're then saying that you're drafting a guy to be Boobie Gibson, to be Derek Fisher, to be BJ Armstrong. That's all well and good if you have LeBron, Kobe or Jordan on the roster, but we don't.
Its 3rd down and 5 to go for the Knicks, and you're saying run a draw play, I'm saying let's throw it, there's not much time left on the clock.
I can't make my brain accept the assumption that Curry will do what he did in college when Reddick and Morrison can't get it done. Neither can Morris Almond or a host of other similar players. The guys who have been able to replicate that kind of play are much bigger, like Rip, Korver and Ray Allen. Those players are also playing off of other guards who penetrate. I don't see the Mayor taking such a huge step that he's going to be driving and kicking to Curry next year on a regular basis.
Derozan is the way to go from an offensive and defensive perspective and you trade back into the late first to take a shot on a PG.
That's the way to go. Sounds like the Warriors will mess it up and take Derozan early, and then I don't know what the answer is, but if you can do it, Derozan early, one of Collison, Beaubois, Lawson late is the way to go.

Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)
