Re: Knicks PROMISE Curry: "We want you!"
[QUOTE=Jay-Hoops]I just don't see this guy living up to the hype. he's a steaky shooter playing in a weak conference.his court vison is horrible and his handles are below average.at best he'll put up dajuan wagner numbers.(rookie year)
[url]http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/wagneda02.html[/url].as for his 3pt% theres a huge difference in getting open looks versus zones and soft man to man college d (horrible rotations).then physical nba d (crisp rotations) and quick close outs on the perimeter.(better athletes higher b-ball iq).[/QUOTE]
Oh my. I do love bumping my old Stephen Curry threads. Dajuan Wagner numbers huh? lol.
Re: Knicks PROMISE Curry: "We want you!"
[QUOTE=Dasher]No he is not. Gordon gets beautiful elevation on his shot and is better at catching and shooting. Curry is an incredibly streaky set shooter. Gordon has better handles, and has every single physical advantage over except possibly length. Put Eric on a Southern Conference team and tell him to take as many shots as he pleases, he would have put up much better numbers than Curry because he can get to the rack at will with both athleticism, and herky jerky moves.[/QUOTE]
Curry is a very streaky... wait for it... Set Shooter. Eric Gordon has herky jerky moves. Why did people start saying Herky Jerky. Why did people stop? Why isn't herky jerky used anymore as metric for evaluating talent?
Re: Knicks PROMISE Curry: "We want you!"
[QUOTE=Knuck the Ficks]If we choose Curry at #8 then I'll be pissed. If the Knicks trade down for him then I guess that would be OK. I still don't see how he's miles ahead of someone like J.J Redick. Redick's not bad but he shouldn't have been picked in the lottery.
With all that said this article is probably bullsh[COLOR="Black"]it[/COLOR] because of this:
Teams have moved from #8 into the top three in the past. Giving a kid a promise before the lottery has even taken place would be asinine.[/QUOTE]
Yea, they should have taken JJ Reddick. Should have been a lottery pick over Curry. Agreed.
Re: Knicks PROMISE Curry: "We want you!"
Sigh... instead I think they got that scrub with the predator hair...

Re: Knicks PROMISE Curry: "We want you!"
I was just looking over the 2009 draft. Minny passed on Curry twice.

That was because Rubio had to honor his overseas deal. Not that it makes it any better. Flynn was a total bust. Imagine teaming DeRozan and Curry up with Love.

Flynn was the worst pick, I think he had a good tournament or something that boosted his stock high, people were trying to compare him to chris paul... :wtf:
I remember not being impressed with him at all, he was small and not very athletic, the best things people could say about him was he was a "floor general"... I always thought Flynn should of been a very easy bust to spot out.

What happened to herky jerky? Why did it start? Where did it go? It lasted a single season. Maybe two. And now no one says it anymore cuz it's ridiculous.
