Stephen Curry 

Post#1 » by %GATMAN% » Sun Sep 5, 2010 10:59 pm

Would it be considered a huge reach to select him with a top 3 pick? Can it be justified? Or would it be considered bad drafting. He has a great all around game... will put up points, assist, rebounds, steals, excellent free throws. Great FG% for a smaller guard like him.

So does he warrant a top 3 pick?

Here is a link to his game log from the past season:

top 10 for sure. however, top 3 seems a lil bit risky and there are definitely more than 3 players have more fantasy values~ C.Paul. K.Durant and even LBJ

I think top 3 is a bit too optimistic... I recently traded for him in a dynasty league and surely hope he'll put up top 3 production, but i guess it's safer to envision him in the latter half of the top 10. I'd say KD, Paul and Lebron and even Wade and Dirk will come ahead of him, then it's a crapshoot between Curry, Granger and Kobe.

Top 3 is reaching a little too high.

I've seen him go as high as 5 in one draft, but he's been a consensus 6-8 pick in every draft I have participated in so far.

He could definitely end the year ranked in the top 3 but IMO a pick that high should be a near guarantee. Barring injury guys like Paul, Lebron, Durant, & Dirk are going to finish near the top--you know exactly what you're gonna get with those kinds of guys.

Steph Curry is going to be good, but don't you think that acquiring David Lee is going to compromise his fantasy value? Of course, Lee puts up boards and FG% making him a "go-to guy". Steph will be have a nice season, but expect to pick him up around 8-12.

Top 5 IMO, you can't go wrong with this kid -- he's a fantasy stud, I would choose him over Dirk, Granger, Wade.

He just does it all!

Top 3 seems like reaching so even if Steph does finish the year in the top 3, you can draft him 5-10 and get better value by doing that (if you can).

Deron Williams or Steph Curry? That's tough. I go Deron and I have no good reason why.
