Great scoring point guard from Davidson. Averaged 21 points as a freshman and led his team to the ncaa's. Definitely has to work on his passing skills, but at Davidson he doesn't have a choice

Curry had a fantastic freshman season. He's a 6'0 SG that bombs high volumes of threes from anywhere on the court, with a high success rate. I don't see him becoming an above-average distributor, so I think he remains a tiny shooter. Unless he develops more as playmaker, I don't see him going 1st-round. Definitely fun to watch though.

The guy has handles and can get his own shot. In that way, he reminds me of Drew Nietzel. Difference is, he has his father to lean on to learn the tricks of the trade. Backup NBA point guard is in his future. If Boykins can play in this league, so can he. He has NBA stroke and range at the age of 19. I wonder how long he's gonna stay at Davidson. He's really too good for that league (even if his stats never jump to much higher). I think Davidson returns their top 10 players from last year. Should be a special team this year.

Criminally underrated. 25.3 ppg, 48% FG 42.3% 3pt. His 3pt percentage might even be better if he didnt take so many. He has already attempted 276 this year, and is shooting it at a decent clip. This guy is going to be a steal. Everyone is infatuated with the freshman guards, but this guy is just as good a scorer as any.

You have to give him credit in that he's improved upon his outstanding frosh numbers across the board and has lead his team to a, so far, undefeated conference schedule, mid-major or not. His height will always be a problem, though. Davidson will be gone next year, so it should allow him to expand his distribution game, which is what will take him from being a 8th-9th bench guy to 6th man-average starter.

If he can get up to 4-5apg next year, even if his scoring drops to 20ppg, he's a top 20 pick. If he doesn't tweak his game for more passing, and he increases his scoring to 28-30ppg, he's still a fringe 1st rounder. There's an abundance of graduating 6'0 scoring dynamos that can't pass for **** every year in college and don't even sniff the 2nd round; he has to show he's more than that.

He's Dell Curry's son and he plays in Charlotte. No doubt he gets a look by the Bobcats. The thing about him is he can handle the ball and shoot. He also is adept at coming off screens and nailing shots. His pedigree will get him into the NBA. He might only end up a 3rd PG or a situational player (like Damon Jones), but he will make the league. He can do the things guys like Craig Hodges could do, just he's not very tall.

Lofton is garbage. Well not on the college level, but this guy is not an NBA player at all. First of all, he's even smaller than Curry and he can't dribble for crap. Not to mention he really doesn't have the ability to get to the lane and make shots even with a sliver of daylight. I would never draft him. I'd tell him immediately, if you want to play pro ball, go overseas.

Curry isn't just a shooter.He's a good scorer and he's going to be able to play a Steve Kerr type role in the NBA.I really don't know if he's going to be able to be a point guard in the NBA.Richards is such a great distributor that you never get a look at Curry playing the point.In fact I really think Richards is going to be a very effective backup point in the NBA also.

Curry isn't a point guard.Richards is the point guard and he's a really good college point.Curry may be able to play the point,but noone has seen enough of him with the ball to evaluate him.

He's going to have problems in the NBA if he can't learn to play the point or unless he can end up somewhere with a combo guard/point who can guard the opposing two.I'm on the fence with him.He obviously has plenty of talent and he's going to be able to play in the NBA,but it's a huge question as to whether or not he can be more than a sixth man.

The comparison for him is probably Ben Gordon,only we don't know if he has the handles to be a better point guard.If he can play the point that's huge for him.If he can't then he's going to have big time matchup problems in the NBA.Now if he went to Cleveland that'd be an entirely different story.If you have Lebron to do the creating and let him spot up he can play the point 36 minutes a night.If he goes somewhere where he'd have to be the creator then what's he going to give you outside of shooting.He's got to put on muscle and learn to contribute in other ways IMO.

He needs to get in the weight room. Like what happened to Redick, no one is setting 5-6 screens a possession for a backup point guard to get a decent look. They don't do it for Damon Jones, they won't do it for Curry.
