Curry Enters Draft
Davidson, NC – Davidson guard Stephen Curry will skip his senior season and take his sweet shooting stroke to the NBA.
After weeks struggling to decide, the nation’s leading scorer announced Thursday that he’ll enter the NBA draft, where he could be a lottery pick.
With his father, former NBA sharpshooter Dell Curry, and Davidson coach Bob McKillop nearby, the nation’s leading scorer said at an on-campus news conference that his goal has always been to play in the NBA.
The lightly recruited Curry burst onto the national scene a year ago in helping tiny Davidson get within a missed a 3-pointer of the Final Four.
The 6-foot-3 Curry moved to point guard this season and averaged 28.6 points. He had 15 games of 30 or more points and three of 40 or more.
