Stephen Curry turns pro

[Trixie]

all his stuff is off picks. A lot of teams will give him the lane and deny the jumper. Without a high screen and roll the guy is a pure shooter. Now that he is playing point, guys like Jason Kidd, Darrin Williams and Chauncy Billups will eat him up on the defensive side of the ball. These guys did it to Chris Paul his rookie year. Jason Kidd did everything but punch him in their playoff series.

Agreed. He's a great shooter and an above average passer but he's not tough. Yet.

Going to be an average NBA player; nothing special.

What playoff series? Hornets didn't make the playoffs until CP3's 3rd season. And the Hornets beats the Mavs 4-1, with Paul being absolutely dominating in every game except the 3rd.

Looks like he is becoming explosive and now surprising me

Lets see how he does the rest of the year.

Steph Curry putting together a pretty solid rookie season, got him right behind Tyreke Evans but has a slim chance to pass him for RoY. If and when he bulks up he's gonna be a nightmare!!! Real smart player with a deadly shot and a decent passer. Someone compared him to Brandon Roy, pretty good comparison, gotta feeling he could be slightly better than Roy as he progresses.

Better than D Wade?!?!?!
I say yes

Better than D Wade?!?!?! I say yes

Right now? not really sure.
In 2 years? very probable.
