If Craig Hodges, Steve Kerr, Tim Legler, hell, even his dad Dale made it in the league, Steph will be there too. He's got much more game than all of them. He can handle the ball and he's a pretty good passer too. He's not one-dimensional at all. I get so tired of the so called "experts" always saying this guy or that guy can't play in the pros. Stop trying to pigeonhole guys and just let them play. Those same experts said Ryan Leaf, Akeli Smith, Alex Smith and a host of others would be great pros then say a guy like Tim Tebow can't be. Tebow is a WINNER. Give me him over all of those other guys because he knows how to get the job done and he's proven it over and over at the highest level of the college game. They said Darren Sproles couldn't play. Ask the Colts if that's true. They said Earl Boykins and Tyrone Bogues couldn't make it. I think they did ok. Talent and heart can take you further than your combine numbers.

If playing 12 minutes a game as a 7th or 8th man is sucessful then you may be right. However you like Joe fail to understand that all the players like Sproles, Boykins and Bogues had tremendous physical attributes (speed) that Curry lacks. Not to mention that they are all bit players on medicre teams. I get sick of people who are willing to overlook a players obvious flaws because they are "winners". Curry is a complimentary player at best in the NBA. I said his ceiling was probably Sleepy Floyd who was far better than Boykins or Bogues. What he is most likely not is a starter for a good team or even a rotation player until he shows he can handle a different role. He isnt the modern George Gervin. And by the way the "experts" that see college stars that wont translate into pro stars are right far more often than not.
