He just seems to one dimensional like AC Law

But i could see him be a Reggie type player as well

AC Law IV WTF are you taking about? Might as well compare Curry to Greg Oden. Law IV couldn't shoot like Curry in an empty gym. Law is PG, whose job is to create and he was good defender.

Curry is shooting specialist. He will find his way into the association. He is a better shooter than Reddick and has a quicker release.

Too small. Will be a nice story for a year or two and then he's gone.

He can't defend a fast 1 or big 2.

After a couple games last year where Law was hitting game winners, they were comparing him to Reggie Miller on ESPN

No joke

I hate when they compare players. Reggie Miller for my money is the best shooter I have ever seen. Acie Law will play in the NBA for 8-10 years, but never be star on any team.

Speaking of NBA, I have changed my mind as to who the number 1 pick should be. I still believe that Beasly is the best player talent wise, but I think Rose will be the most successful.

But to say to compare Curry to Law is crazy, i think thats not a crazy comparison

BTW Rose is my guy to if my Knicks have #1

Where does Kevin Love go if he enters?

IMO it is because Curry is not a PG guard. Law played the Point and that is what he is playing now. They are completely different players. Curry is a SG.

He goes in the Top 10, I think the knock against him is height and quickness. He doesn't have the quicks, but he is physical and can easily play against guys like Aldrige and Randolph. I think players like Rasheed and KG would be difficult for him to defend.

He is a very good passer.

he is similar in many ways to JJ Reddick. Don't expect him to be a star player for any team soon, but he has the potential to be a solid NBA guard.

the nba has plenty of room for a great shooter, played at a solid small school program, and an upbringing that has been far from da h00d.

I have to disagree with you on this one. He is a soph in college and has showcased a shooting exabition that has not been seen in 20 yrs. He is 6 ft 2 in with time still to grow a few inches. PLENTY tall enough to get the job done and fast enough. What if he put's up 20-25 pts per gm and his man scores 10-15? His stats for the avg 4.8 rebounds per game from a SHOOTING guard. Give this kid some time because with all these doubter's out here can only motivate him even more. P.s. allen iverson is shorter and smaller than him.

Wow, you can't compare this guy to AI. AI takes punishment, this kid is strictly outside, he'd be broken in half if he went to the hole like AI.

And 6'2 is very generous. He's a 1-trick pony and hitting the NBA 3 consistently is much much harder than the college line.

We shall see.

Correction AI is not a shooter, he is a scorer. Also, AI is a different athlete than Curry. AI takes tremendous body contact and can finish. I really like Curry, but AI is different type of player. He also plays the point.

I know he play's the point, AI. that is. All that I am saying is he has shown the ability to create shot's for himself typical to a "reggie" or a "AI". I know his last possesion today was not a good one, but the type of player he is he will learn from these games that will only make him better and more confident. Plus if you ask me AI takes ALOT of easy dives after he is barely touched. Just like d wade does. IMO. Only time will tell fella's and I am not here to do nothing but have an interesting converstion with you. Remember, these are just opinion's of our's, just like asshols and bellybutton's, everybody has them....

Curry is similar to Ben Gordon. Undersized, but can shoot lights out when on.

I think that is a compliment to Curry and probably his ceiling as an NBA player

Gordon will be starting for a team next year and averaging close to 25 a game

36% shooting today taking 25 shots.

He shot around 38% against Duke, UNC, Gtown, UCLA, and Kansas. He had a solid game against Wisky...

The 6 games he played against teams that have close to NBA talent he struggled.

To lazy on the court. Needs to add some size and get in better shape. Not very aggressive
