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.
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.
Curry aint no Gilbert Arenas. Stop with the Overating. Curry = JJ redick so far. Until he proves otherwise.
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.
