Keeping Score

Stephen Curry

by Gene | May 14, 2009

So this is a little late, but I wanna give my opinion on Stephen Curry’s decision to enter in the NBA Draft.

If you have followed my blog you know that I think Curry is an amazing player, and more importantly a great person. He is somebody that younger players should look up to. He was ignored by big-name schools out of high school and he proved them wrong when he got to Davidson College. He never averaged less than 21.5 points per game in any of his 3 seasons. And this past season, after he really broke onto the national stage and frequently saw double teams, he still averaged 28.6 points per game and nearly doubled his assists per game from 2.9 to 5.6.

Stephen Curry will truely be missed at the college level. He continuously got better and worked at his game. People will hound to see or talk Blake Griffin and Tyler Hansbrough, but no offense to them since they are great players, I would pick Stephen Curry in a heartbeat. In his press conference, you could see that he really loved playing at Davidson and will truely miss it. That is what college athletics is truely about.

So Stephen, congratulations on an amazing career at Davidson and good luck with whichever NBA team has the luck and privilage of drafting you.
