yall must have forgot Daniel Gipson in college. He wasn't as good a shooter as Curry, but he was much quicker, athletic, and he could actually shoot thehell out of the basketball. Plus he ran the point a whole lot better.
That said, Curry will be in the NBA and he will be a decent contributor. His role will probably indeed be equivalent to Daniel Gipson with maybe a little moreto it

Daniel Gibson was terrible/mediocre trying to run PG.

You do realize that Bobby Jackson was yammin' on dudes at Minnesota and his first couple of years in the league? Curry has never yoked on anybody'sneck and doesn't have the explosiveness that Bobby Jackson had.
I'm honestly starting to question the IQ of some of these so called basketball fans cause alot of these comparisons are off the wall, word to Mike Jackson.

this is absurd.
He's a DYNAMIC collegiate player, but I don't see him being more than a role player in the NBA. Someone to come off the bench and provide a spark withhis shooting. Adam Morrison didn't transcend the game in the NBA, JJ Redick isn't having NEARLY the success that he did at Duke, and the list goes onand on....
He will be a 1st round pick...no doubt, but let's not get ahead of ourselves....

To be honest I don't remember watching Jackson early on in his career, but if you read I mentioned Jackson in his Sacramento days.Specifically when he came off the bench and lit teams up with his shooting (yes I know his jump shot is not as good as Currys') and aggressiveness overall.

why do people always use laettener as an example of not transitioning well in the pro's?
he spent over a decade as a pro player. id say that counts as 'making it'.

Dude is too thin/small. He won't have the height and weight to last in the league as a SG. Dude doesn't have the PG skills too.

his NCAA tourney resume is already better than Redicks
he'll be a solid pro, but it will all depend on where he lands in the draft.

Those saying Adam Morrison and J.J. Reddick didn't translate well to the league are about 2-3 years premature. What is this their 3rd year? And Morrisonmissed a whole year to injury? And J.J. is starting for a top team in the East despite not getting any experience his first 2 years? I guess Steve Nashdidn't translate well either if thats how we're judging.

^ Reddick is starting because the starting off guard (Pietrus) is hurt and the other one is garbage (bogans) and the other is an inexperience/not as skilledrookie (Lee).
plus they're shopping Reddick around the league to get rid of him.

Not exactly a fair comparison...Steve Nash had to sit behind some guy named Jason Kidd when he first came into the league.

People are bringing up Morrison and Redick because like Curry, they had RIDICULOUS collegiate careers. Maybe you're more patient than thenext guy, but I haven't seen anything from either Morrison or Redick that would suggest that they would be any more than a role player or some sort of 3ptspecialist. One of those (role player or 3pt specialist) is what I think Curry will be on the next level. For as dynamic as he is in college, it's adifferent beast in the NBA.

The one element to Curry's game, that others like him lack, is his ability to create his own shot. Dude is not an easy match up one on one. Pair him with asolid point and 3, and he could contribute greatly as a 6.

All I'm saying is that you would of said the same thing you're currently saying about Morrison & Redick about Nash at the begining ofhis 3rd year...some players take a while to adjust, or even to get a legitimate chance at PT. If we're judging Morrison to be a bust after 1 year ofexperience (Redick basically has 1 year as well), then Devin Harris was a big time bust as well...there's many more examples. It's too early IMO.
I think Curry will make the all-star team at least once in his NBA career.

There is NO WAY he is Devin Harris. Harris is a jet with the ball and can bang on people (Yao the summer before Devin's rookie year). Admittedly, Curryshoots better, but Harris would destroy him.

I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing it. Dude hasn't stepped foot on an NBA floor, and you are proclaiming him to be a future all-star. Hisgame is working...in college. NBA is a different beast. I would LOVE to be wrong about him, but on the next level I don't see him being any better thanSteve Kerr.
and you can't even compare Devin Harris to Morrison or Redick. Harris has gotten better in each of his years in the NBA, and everyone who has followed himknew he was bound to break out. What has Morrison or Redick shown to you that suggests that they are more than a flash in the pan NBA player? These guys arerole players, and that's about it.
