I'll say it right now. Few will be confused; most will disagree. But I'll say it anyway...Stephen Curry's career thus far in college basketball has put him in the category as possibly one of the most dynamic and difficult players to guard in college basketball that we have seen in the past ten years. He is easily one of the best shooters in the past ten years of college basketball, more so than people like J.J. Redick, Adam Morrison, Ben Gordon, and so many other notable players with ridiculous range. Curry's only setback was the university he played ball at...Davidson.

No disrespect to Davidson; it's a great school, and Curry has given them a small light of relevance, but if this sharp shooter was on a Duke squad or a Oklahoma team...they would be automatic favorites to win the tournament.

Regardless, now comes the question for this star point guard? Is he ready for the NBA?

Ahh...he just might be.

Detroit Pistons starting shooting guard, Richard Hamilton returned from a nagging injury this week their game on Wednesday against the Indiana Pacers. He had a sub-par game, going 4/13 in thirty minutes, ending up with 9 points. It's a good thing starting shooting guard for the Detroit Pistons; Allen Iverson started and scored 23 on 19 shots.

See anything wrong with that?

The Pistons started Rasheed Wallace at center, putting Tayshaun Prince and Rip Hamilton at forwards and Rodney Stuckey and AI in the backcourt. The Pacers are no powerhouse, but a front court of Danny Granger, Troy Murphy and Jeff Foster outrebounded and outscored the Detroit Pistons trio.

With such a small line up, coach Michael Curry will be writing his own ending as the Detroit Pistons head coach, as it will prove to be the decline of the Detroit Pistons. He has a choice to make... he has to decide whether to bring Rip or AI off the bench.

*I'd love to hear your comments on this*

Eddy Curry's been slapped in the a** more times since becoming a Knick than maybe even Isiah Thomas. The guy got thrown out of his hometown of Chicago, robbed in his Burr Ridge, IL home, benched by Thomas, benched by Mike D'Antoni, and now comes the coup de gras...

His former limo driver filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him.

Explanation after the jump...

Coming off his spectacular NCAA Tournament performance, a lot of people are debating if Stephen Curry should turn pro? I think we all know what his limitations are. He is a 6'2" (probably more like 6 Feet") shooting guard with a body of McLovin from the movie "SuperBad."

What position does he play in the pros? Does he handle the ball well enough to be a Point Guard? Defensively how would he hold up against physical opposition? With all these questions you would think the easy answer would be to stay in school, get a little stronger, and solidify his draft status.

But history tells us that, sometimes, it is best to strike while the iron is hot. It is quite possible that his draft stock is as high as it is ever going to be. What if Davidson has an off year next year? What if Davidson gets knocked out in the 1st round of the tournament with him going 3-20? While I think it is admirable that he wants to remain in school, I believe that a lot more bad things can happen than good things by staying.

One more year isn't going to change the fact that the kid can play. Chris Paul, and even going farther back to A.I,. have shown us that you don't have to be a 6'6" guard to be dominant in the NBA. However, NBA GMs are very similar to gold digging women. They have a "What have you done for me lately?" mentality when it comes to prospects. Steph may want to call Roy Hibbert and ask him how it worked out for him after staying in school to improve his game.
