Stephen Curry, a college student from davidson college, was selected by Golden State Warriors in the 7th overall pick in 2009.
Curry bases himself on the league with accurate three points, averaging 23. 1 point, 4.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists in his career. He is currently the top superstar in the league. Career 2 regular season MVP, 2 championship.
When Curry was in the NCAA, scouts commented that Curry was too thin, his muscles didn't break out at all, and more importantly, he didn't have enough physical strength and might not be able to play the NCAA at all. No famous basketball school wants to accept him. Curry can only join davidson college, who is weak in basketball.
However, Curry led davidson college, who was not a famous basketball school, to the NCAA, and from the bottom of the ranking, he went all the way to eliminate the so-called famous basketball schools.
Crazy March is the name of NCAA. In March of that year, people's eyes were fixed on this scrawny No.30, scoring wildly and blackening the game all the way to the end. At that time, Curry was a scoring machine, beating Yang's three-point champion and taking davidson college all the way to the finals. Although it didn't succeed in the end, it also lost the championship. But it is enough to prove the strength of Curry.
However, scouts still think Curry is too thin to see any domineering. The NBA is full of big men with excellent physical fitness, and Curry can't play the NBA at all.
In the 2009 draft. Sure enough, the second prize of the first prize is out of reach with Curry, even though this guy has a crazy March. In the end, the Golden State Warriors, who have a good eye for pearls, chose Steven Curry, who comes from davidson college and has the No.7 logo.
At present, Curry is a top superstar, which can be said to have severely hit those scouts in the face.
In the NBA draft, the rookie in the lottery area is actually likely to be selected.
For example, there will be two or three top candidates, but no one can be sure until the last minute. Four to six draft, it is also possible to change owners. Curry was selected by the seventh place, which will be analyzed according to the situation at that time.
In Curry's 2009 draft, Griffin ranked first. He is the top scholar, with strong physical fitness and super dunk, and everyone knows it very well. Curry was thin at first. Before him, no team was three points behind and beat the world. Therefore, at that time, no one could predict how lethal the garage would be in the future.
Then two or six teams. In fact, Curry has a chance, but if he is not beyond the strength of others, he must accept the trial invitation of the team. This is the choice given to you by the team.
Players themselves will also make choices about the team. Whether the market and tactical system of the city where this team is located is suitable for itself, the team that doesn't want to go simply doesn't accept the trial invitation. It is for this reason that Curry missed Grizzly Bear, Thunder, King and Timberwolves.
In fact, Curry also wants to miss Golden State. His ideal team is the 8th new york Knicks. However, the seventh golden state warrior cut Hu from it.
The vicious manager of Golden State Warriors saw this future superstar at a glance!
First of all, Curry is an older rookie. It was not until he graduated from junior year that he announced his candidacy. Secondly, Curry's physical fitness was really not outstanding at that time, because the draft was mainly based on his physical condition. At that time, Curry was too thin, and everyone didn't think he could perform well in the high-intensity confrontation in the NBA.
Curry played shooting guard when he was a freshman and a sophomore, mainly responsible for running shots, which is very similar to Thompson's play in the Warriors now. Later, Curry's father found it difficult for Curry to play SG in the NBA, so Curry began to play point guard instead.
Curry was actually laid off by the Warriors at that time, because Curry only wanted to join new york in those years and didn't go to the Warriors for trial training at all. But Nelson was very optimistic about Curry and did not hesitate to start from the seventh place. The 8th angry new york audience was booed and had to admire Nelson's vision here.
It's really hard to say such a thing as NBA draft. Gambling, so to speak. Jordan is not the top pick, Kobe is 13, and Bennett can also be the top pick, so it is normal for Curry to be selected as the 7 th pick.
