Stephen Curry will be a bust if he is taken in the top 5.

He will be unable to create his own shot against bigger, stronger, faster players, and his jumper won't fall with under 10 shots a game (he is a volume shooter).

The Arenas comparison is stupid. He is twice the athlete Curry is much stronger.

Lol hes not that much of a chucker.He was just built to be that way in the Davidson offense cause of the lack of talent.Won't take as many shots in the NBA.

He won't be the best pg/sg but he will be top 5 imo.I think Brandon Jennings and Flynn will be the best ones idk about Rubio, never seen him play.

Stephen Curry will be fine as long as he's in an offense where he doesn't have to handle the primary ball handling skills and instead offers as a 2nd ball handler ie. the Lakers, the Cavs, the Heat, the Blazers.

Basically, he needs a superstar wing talent to mask his deficiencies as the primary decision maker.

I believe he has the talent to be a very valuable player in the NBA. As for a NBA comparison, it's between Mo Williams and Jason Terry I guess.

He is a slightly better version of Boobie Gibson.

He is a slightly better version of Boobie Gibson.

I see the similarities in that they're both three point specialists with limited point guard capabilities, but Stephen has a better shot at success cause he is well over 6 feet. He'll need to beef up and at the same time not loose speed since I don't think he's that quick to begin with, but just being 6-2 or 6-3 changes things drastically for him.

Pro's And Con's:

Pro's-He can shoot with the best of them, his stroke is pure gold where in, you beleive that every shot this kid takes is gonna go into the bucket no matter where he shoots it from, ala Dale Ellis (from the 86' period to the 91' period).

His passing has vasly improved from his sophmore year (which I was very skeptical about), he makes pin-point razer passes from any length between point A to point B.

Con's-His strength in the NBA, meaning, has he grown into his mature body yet? Can he fight through screens? Will he be able to deal with the bumps and bruise's?

His Ball handling, its been shaky a few times this year, I've seen him fail to dribble through ball hawking defense, although there's times where he makes the spectacular dribble move, but as of being able to consistantly control the ball? There's a BIG if there.


All things aside, I think Curry would make a Great Combo like gaurd like a Iverson or as mentioned Gilbert Areanas, and coming off a bench as a 6th man from the start, but as his body and mind mature's, he will become more of a Star. Best fit for him would be to play with an Orlando (with Dwight in the post) or Cleavland (with LeBron driving and dishing).

He isn't as quick as Boobie and he still gives up 4 3-4 inches to standard SG's.

Not to mention Boobie is quick enough to guard points, which Stephen really isn't.

For some reason, I could see him doing well in Dallas, too, and maybe Detroit. I just hope for his sake that he isn't drafted by a team like Minnesota or Memphis, since I could easily see him busting there.

Not to mention Boobie is quick enough to guard points, which Stephen really isn't.

I think that's yet to be really determined. Any team drafting him without full knowing his liability on the defensive end is dumb. I think he has a chance to be a good player for any team that drafts him, whether off the bench or in the starting line up. I would just put a smart guard next to him. He rushes his decisions right now. He's either too quick with the pass too slow, he'll need experience to get it just right.

Besides, Gibson never did what Stephen has done as a point guard in college. I was never impressed by Gibson when he was at Texas, at least not as much as I am of Stephen.

It's really tough to say. I'm afraid that he may end up like Acie Law; put on a team that isn't fitting for him and he just fades away to obscurity. I hope the team that drafts him know what to expect and know what they want because he can easily become a guy that falls through the cracks.

The lack of ball-handling skills surprised me about Curry. If your dad played in the NBA for 10+ years, you would think that helping his son develop a nasty handle would be priority #1. If he's put at the point, he's going to be turnover machine. Not to mention that he doesn't look quick or strong enough to even be an adequate defender.

He will probably be best off the bench as a designated scorer. As such, if he's picked in the top 5, it will be too high. 10 - 15, maybe.

Stephen Curry will only have a successful career in the NBA IMO, if he completely avoids playing the point. Kid is a great shooter and he can do very well if he does exactly that. At this point, I'd say he'd be a late 1st rounder. Minus his shooting, he has no handles, is scrawny, and not even that athletic.

Da KO King
04-25-2009, 08:09 AM
Best Case: Mike Bibby
Worst Case: Eddie House
Most Likely: Dana Barros


Curry is small. Unlike a guy like Ben Gordon, who roughly the same height as Curry, Curry does not have long arms or excellent upper body strength. To me Curry's athleticism and skills do not combine to overcome how small is he.

Curry can, and likely will, be a quality player at the NBA level. However I don't ever see him being anything worth really discussing at length.

Curry would definitely be a better prospect if he was taller.

Although he shoots very well Curry's release is pretty low. So there may be a struggle to get off uncontested shots at the NBA level. Curry also is not a very strong ball handler or athlete so the lack of size will also hamper his ability to finish at the rim.

Also, Curry isn't some scrub. He was a far superior player to Steve Nash in both HS and College.

His handles are decent but some people saying no handles need to watch him more as well as people comparing him to J.J because he can create his shot somewhat.He is also great off screens and off ball.His passing is also better then most people think.If you double your assist averaged from your freshmen year and sophmore year to now in your first move to the PG position with the talent you have you have to be decent at PG.Especially with the amount of shots he takes in college he still averaged 6 assist and he won't take as many shots in the NBA so his guard ability should get better with more passing,better coaches and more talent to finish his plays.

I watched all his games that came on Sports center and the type of shots his team gets that they cant finish makes me wonder how much assist he would average on a team like NC or Uconn who have more weapons on there bench then Davidsons starting lineup.

Sorry for going off topic but i agree with everything you said but those things can be changed.

Have you guys watched Curry this year? First off based off watching him this year, I doubt he will have any problem being a point guard in the NBA, and based off his shot-making ability if he is not the ROY I will be surprised. I can't believe people here are comparing him to JJ Reddick and Boobie Gibson.


We'll see I've already bookmarked this thread. Whether I'm right or wrong I'll bump it about a year from now.

Can't believe I forgot to bump this thread. I may have been wrong about the ROY, but had Curry stayed healthy I sincerely think he would have been ROY in 09-10, and who would really take Tyreke Evans over Steph today?

I always love seeing these prediction threads because you know 80+% of the posters making the predictions don't know what they're talking about.

What does the "on crack" version of another player even mean?

Crazy eyes and a tendency to steal or prostitute himself.

Curry has an amazing stroke. If he ever gets his ankles fixed he could be the 2nd best player on a contender.

This thread is the perfect example of ISH. Hindsight is 20/20 and nobody likes to admit when they're wrong or give credit when somebody is right

I've been chastized for saying:
Wade Peaked in 04
Griffin is a glorified dunker
Bosh will be reduced to a 3rd option player and won't even succeed at that

I think Curry has peaked personally. This is as good as he'll get IMO. I'd bank the franchise on Harrison Barnes and Steph as a second fiddle scoring option a la Garnett/Marbury. I'll take my shots now.....

One things certain, most of ISH is awful at predicting how players careers turn out.

Dion Waiters is the next Dwyane Wade
To be fair, he has the potential but he's too stupid and too cocky to reach that level at the moment.

Classic Bump ( one of the many about Stephen Curry )

who would have thought PleezeBelieve of all people called it , along with Skip Bayless :lol


Like you couldn't even conceive Curry being MVP of the entire NBA . Just hard to predict that type of development.

Based on the time I really like the Mike Bibby comparison

Curry is the perfect example of why skills and hard work over "potential"

if aau coaches actually put time into developing player skills instead of just trying to gather all the best athletes on the same team then we would as nba fans would be better for it

Curry wasn't even rated in the top 100 coming out of HS..

Is equivilant the equivalent of equivalent?

I think his peak will be 30 minutes a game off the bench averaging something like: 18/3/3 on 46%/42%/88%.
