Mitch Lawrence is reporting that the Knicks aren’t the only team hot for Stephen Curry. Apparently the Thunder like what he brings to the table, though they would use him at the two, where he would be undersized and underweight, and where some of his abilities as a passer would be deemphasized…
Oklahoma City has a Stephen Curry fixation. The Thunder attended all of Curry’s home games at Davidson this past season and is looking at him as a potential shooting guard. But they’ll almost certainly move down from the No. 3 pick if they decide to take him. Scouts are not only high on Curry’s shooting, but also think he can make players better around him. “When you look at that Davidson team, they barely had any other Division I players,” said one scout.
I don’t like all this buzz around Curry. If he’s going to be a solid NBA starter, with possible all star potential, I’d like for the Knicks to get him. To be honest, I don’t see anyone else in the draft I like that much (not that I’m 100% sold on Curry either). It may be balanced etc…, but other than the #1 pick, I don’t see any sure fire NBA starters. I see a few gambles. That makes it likely one or two will wind up being good, but who is anyone’s guess.
