Crawford relied on his athleticism early on in is career. Curry is no where the athlete Crawford is and was. tkf doesn't like the comparison but he is Luther Head and Eddie House. Sharp shooters that are too small to play the SG spot and lack the athleticism, lateral speed and strength to play point guard for major minutes. The problem is that neither were thought about being drafted so high.

Steve Nash he ain't. Nash had to be convince to take his shot more. That is a guy with a pass first mentality. Curry doesn't have it.

Luther Head scouting report
Strengths
A pure and natural shooter, he can hit consistently from outside. His skills and quickness make him capable of playing both guard positions, and he can take over games as a scorer when he gets on a roll.

Weaknesses
A shooting guard in a point guard's body. Too much of his game is on the perimeter, and he doesn't go to the rack often enough or dish off to teammates. He also brings little as a rebounder and doesn't register a lot of steals.

Just compare that to Curry's scouting report and then take a look at Nash's. How anyone in the world looks at Curry's game and see Steve Nash is a mystery.

If Curry's game can translate to the NBA, he will be a 20 pt, 7-8 assist a game player. That is plenty of potential.

Curry isnt just a shoot first PG. He's an elite scorer. He's scoring 30 points a night when the entire defense is focused on him and he's unselfish to boot.

He's nothing like Crawford who is all about shake bake and chuck. Curry is much more like a shorter Reggie Miller. He's a nightmare to guard away from the ball. We winds and weaves through screens and traffic and needs about 9 inches of space to get off that amazing shot. When he's got the ball he can destroy you off screens because of that quick release. He's the perfect pick and roll PG because that perfect jumper means you have to stay tight on him.

Guys like Crawford, Salim Stoudemire.. they were good college scorers. Curry is one of the best in the last 10 years and he's got pedigree and outstanding basketball IQ to back it up.

I think he's a mix of Jeff Horncek and Mark Price. He's only shoot first if thats the best shot

Were banking on Curry[who I like] but not enough to bank on!

We need a C for Christ sakes.
