He is twice as quick as chauncy billups and a handful of other guy's in the league. This alone will make him a good defender. Plus, if he is scoring 20 + pts per game and only giving up 12 -14 on def, that will help any team.imo.....he is a small 2 and won't be able to defend NBA 2's. If the team that drafts him has a big 1 then he can guard the opposing teams pt. guard otherwise he will get killed trying to defend a Chauncey or a Hamilton. However I do think that he can be a good player in the NBA.
The more I think about it the more idiotic this entire thread is. The title says Curry=Miller your thoughts? Well my thoughts are that is fucking insane. Anymore posts trying to say they are equal will get bashed unmercifully.
the cavaliers already have a player in gibson that brings more to the table than curry. and gibson's limitations are constantly exploited despite the fact that he is a dead-eye shooter.
not to mention there are plenty of all-AMERICANS that cant even cut it in the nba in todays game. steve logan was first team 5 years ago. he isnt even on the basketball map right now. morrison, for as good a player as he is and was before injury, struggled to adjust. point being, your weaknesses are exploited daily in the nba.
it should also be mentioned that curry was about 38% from the floor against duke-carolina-ucla this year.
Chill out.
Nobody is saying he'll be as good as Reggie, just that they may have similar styles of game.
earl boykins is an athletic freak for his size.
the strength he has on that frame to go with his quickness and ability to handle the ball are the reasons he can step onto an nba floor. he is a once-a-decade kind of player.
And Curry has at least 6 inches on him...probably 8 or 9
Boykins averaged 25 ppg his senior season shooting 47%. Curry has averaged 25 ppg his sophomore season shooting 49%. Not to mention lighting up GTown and Wisconsin, supposedly two of the best defensive teams in the country.
If Boykins can make it, Curry can make it.
Curry is more athletic than people are giving him credit for.
You're trying to tell me that you thought Boykins could play in the NBA and guard someone like Shaun Livingston?
Curry is only 20 years old and has two more years to put on weight and improve his ball handling.
Theres no reason he won't make it.
if DAMON JONES can make the NBA...so can Curry.
I find it hilarious that the same people that were giving Davidson no shot to beat Gonzaga, GTown, or Wisconsin are saying Curry won't make it in the pros.
