YO STEPH! YOU MIGHT WANT TO RECONSIDER TURNING PRO

stephcurry.jpg

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.

He was only going to be a 2nd round pic so it is better for him to stay in school

I totally agree with Littal he would be Top 15 if he comes back they are only going to find faults

You go to college to get the best job possible. Curry is hot right now and he has a NBA pedigree! He should go pro now, he's not gonna win the NCAA Title with Davidson. There aren't many pure shooters in the NBA anymore. In two years he'll be a better Steve Kerr or a smaller Reggie Miller

I think he should go he is "hot" if he stay in school and come out after his junior year or senior he will drop to a second round pick. since he is small he knows he has to work alot harder then the other guys. his father will guide him in the right direction. he will be an awesome shooting gaurd he will probably develop in the nbdl his first year or two.

At first I thought he should stay in school to get stronger. But he may not get too much bigger anyway with his body type, and the way he runs around the court. Rip Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince are kind of spinly built as well, although they are taller. But Curry has a dead-eye shot, which won't improve much more with another year, and he could get severly hurt next year, missing out on millions. And if he goes ahead and declares, he has at least a couple more months to concentrate on bulking up a little more, rather than staying academically eligible.

Stop looking at my wife

If he can guarantee he will be a 1st rounder he should come out

Doesn't really matter now because he said he is coming back. But after reading this I think he should take some more time to think about it
