I like curry better than siva but alas he does not fit this defensive hard worker mold henny seems to love.

I hope curry sticks. We could use a shooter and I see him being flexible enough to play the 1 and 2 like his brother.

I really like Curry being invited. Hopefully he sticks and improves his game speed. His shooting accuracy is special but his shot release is considerably slow, which certainly doesn't help his game considering he has quite slow foot speed as well.

I am not sure if Peyton Siva is already signed so he can be waived. It will be interesting to see if Orlando makes a Siva-like deal for Curry. For the 2015/16 season, I can see both as excellent 3rd men at the PG and SG slots, respectively. Stong play on the practice squad will really help forces Payton and Oladipo's defense. And that practice-squad play is really about what deep bench players are about.

I had never heard of Kadeem Batts before and his NCAA stats are not inspiring.

Drew Crawford has an NBA body. He was a scorer in college, so if he can develop an NBA 3-ball, he might find a place in the league after a couple years of physical development. Interesting fact I learned is that he is the son of NBA ref Danny Crawford.

An interesting story about Curry and what it would take to find himself in Erie, as I speculate above.

RU link: Will Erie BayHawks Acquire The NBA D-League Rights Of Seth Curry?

The Warriors hold Curry's D-League rights. Traditionally in a situation like this, Curry would return to Santa Cruz, if the Magic let him go. That could still very well happen.

Having said that, it's clear Orlando has taken a liking to Curry following Summer League and the training camp invite. They see something there and seemingly value it, so perhaps they'd like to keep a closer eye on him along the way, should they deem him to not be ready for the big leagues just yet.

In order to do so, they'd have to trade for his D-League rights. There are reportedly already plans for Peyton Siva to participate in camp and then subsequently join the newly affiliated Erie BayHawks. Could Curry be next in line?

I see what Rob is doing. Getting in good with the refs. That's genius. I want us to go to the FT line 50 times whenever Danny Crawford is working our games.
