A rumor that has been gaining steam is that the Knicks will select Stephen Curry with their 8th pick. We've received word that there could be truth to this from inside sources claiming that Curry chose to put his name into the draft this year based on the Knicks assuring Curry that they would use their lottery selection to draft him.
What? Who did you think I meant?

That may be good for him, D'Antoni is the ultimate guard conscious coach.

Probably the best situation for him. I think he'd be pretty good in that system.

Re: Knicks PROMISE Curry: "We want you!"
I'm not crazy about him in the NBA. In any system.

How can't you be crazy about him? He's undersized but his footwork is better then almost all NBA players and he can shoot the lights out. His passing game has gotten way better this year. Originally Posted by fatboy11

He 'will' win big games for you so if you draft him and he's just a shooter, you get dibs on a low cost assassin from long range. You win.

Re: Knicks PROMISE Curry: "We want you!"
Yeah, sure, he could be that. He could also be like any number of the other college scorer/shooter types that don't pan out. Right? That's just as likely a possibility as what you mentioned. Originally Posted by indiefan23

Re: Knicks PROMISE Curry: "We want you!"
I dunno, of course he could bust. But I'm not really sure how. I do kind of think he's a slam dunk. Lots and lots of guards in the NBA make a career shooting off screens 'n since he's more or less perfect at working screens for shots I dunno why he wouldn't be able to do that in the NBA. Thats just my honest opinion? Originally Posted by fatboy11

Bryce Drew, Trajan Langdon and Luke Jackson immediately come to mind. Originally Posted by indiefan23

I don't think he'll be as good as a lot of people think he'll be in the NBA.
But like you said, he's a shooter and that's a valuable assest. That only could earn him a long career.

He'd be awesome in D'Antoni's system.
