Anybody see the Davidson / Gonzaga game? My man Curry went off for 40, 8-11 on 3's.
Sure would be nice to have someone like that, especially with Brand and Kaman working down low.
We've never had anybody like this. Pike could shoot but that was it. This kid is a scorer. And now he's 6'3", he's grown a lot.

I heard about him from last year's tourney. Good scorer that's about burn the nets at will. I wonder can he do more outside of scoring the ball like get his teammates involve and play some defense.

This kid is a late 1st rounder easy.

He was crazy today, he's like Ben Gordon: small and a scoring machine

He's still pretty skinny though. I like him a fair bit, doesn't appear to have enough PG skills to be a point, nor does he have the size, or, should I say the frame to be a shooting guard.
An interesting prospect, not sure how he would translate to the big league though.

He reminds me of Rip Hamilton on the offensive end, with more range. The guy can come off of plenty of screens and get his shot of very quickly.
His size may come into question, but he is a pure scorer, and should be a late first rounder in the draft.

Well he had an outstanding second half today, really struggled in the first half but he started reading the defense off of those screens very well which got him some much needed open looks.
Can't fault the kid right now, the success of that Davidson squad lies on his shoulders though. Hopefully he can progress one step further.

I saw part of the Davidson/G'twon game game today. He did struggled in the first half like you said, but Curry turned on the afterburners on the perimeter. If this keeps up, Curry could be a Monta Ellis in the making.

I think Curry is more like Ben Gordon than Monta Ellis to me. Curry seems to be more like a jump shooter than a slasher. We'll see how he develops his game.
