Rumor: Stephen Curry has a "chance" to drafted by the Golden State Warriors

PrintDavidson combo guard Stephen Curry's getting some love across the NBA landscape. Jonathan Givony of the mighty DraftExpress has the 411 after the jump.
Stephen and Del the Funky Hornet can shoot the lights out.
Larry Brown is reportedly extremely high on Stephen Curry, and may be willing to trade up in order to get him. Apparently he views him as being able to play either guard position, even alongside Charlotte's current group of point guards, Raymond Felton and D.J. Augustin.
Curry is getting love from teams as high up as Washington and also has a chance to be drafted 6th (Minnesota) or 7th (Golden State). While the Knicks clearly like him, he isn't the only player they will consider-the other top candidates on their board currently appear to be Tyreke Evans and Jrue Holiday.
I'm not 100% sure if Curry would be a good fit on the hardwood for this team as they're overloaded with combo guards (Jamal Crawford, Monta Ellis, C.J. Watson) and have a screaming need for a point guard. Maybe Curry can be that guy in the NBA, but way more often than not young players can't make that transition. There's a lot of truth in the mantra that "point guards are born, not made".
Still do you really want to miss out on Bay Area Curry 2.0?

really? are you stupid
i think curry without question is one of the best shooters ALREADY in the nba, he is a very willing passer, and uses smarts and passion to overcome his athletic shortcomings….. monta is not a very good shooter, not a willing passer, and has no smarts or passion and gets away by only using athleticsm
Cause Havoc. Bring Nash in and 120 point games will be very expected
The way you describe Monta makes him seem like he's Mike Dunleavy.
He might be a bad shooter from three, but his 17-18 footer is automatic. He was looking to pass a lot more last year, and he looked like he was improving at it. On that smarts/passion thing goes, I don’t really understand where you got your opinion from or what you saw that caused you to believe that, but I’d say the only dumb thing I’ve ever seen/heard from him was the moped.
It's very possible
that he could turn out to be a solid NBA player. But, ultimately, it’s a gamble. He could be good, he could be a complete bust. If he doesn’t show what he’s got out of the gate, he’s done.

He could be good, he could be a complete bust.
Insightful. Is that unlike any other potential pick?
Thing A
Be nice...
Yeah it’s true about anybody, but maybe more so for guys that come into the league without a true position. That said, there is usually always a place on a roster for a pure shooter as long as he’s not a complete liability otherwise.
Thing 2
Also from Givony yesterday:
Stephen Curry has similar size to Jerryd Bayless. His height isn’t the biggest issue here, as he came out quite solid at over 6-3 in shoes, but his extremely low standing reach and wingspan are. Since we started compiling wingspans, the only successful two guards in the league with a wingspan so small have been Allen Iverson and Monta Ellis. See how he ranks amongst point guards for yourself. It’s understandable now why so many scouts consider him to be a potential defensive liability in the NBA.
Pass.
Thing 1
NO!!!!!!!!!!
He is just JJ Reddick!
So I don't have a signature well these words would do! Who knew that upgrades can have downgrades too!

Next Rumor:
and after that:
Rumor: Warriors may trade up to grab Rubio at #4 !
Depends...
… on what we could get for our more moveable combo guards. Say Memphis wants to draft Rubio, so needs to move Conley Jr. and change. I could see a trade with Conley and Monta at the core of it.
a really good article from our friends at canus hoopus that thoroughly disagress with that statement:

heart of a champion, will of the warrior.
His game isn’t remotely like Redick’s. Not even a little bit.

wingspan not necessarily a good indication of defensive ability
Guess who has a huge (for a guard) 6’10’’ wingspan, one of the tops in the league?
Yes, Jamal Crawford.
