Why is it as strong as Curry and only a seventh pick in the draft?

As we all know, the draft in the NBA is a very important choice, choosing a good draft can help the team rise quickly, but not every draft is the right decision, there are some players who are not in high order, but can fill their own difference in the later efforts, the most famous of which is Kobe Bryant, Curry and other superstar players, their picks are not high, but their personal ability is very good. Today's Curry is one of the best guards in the league, and he has won a lot of honors in his career, such as championships, All-Star stars, and MVPs, so why was Curry's pick the seventh pick that year?

First of all, Curry's pick that year could have been higher, but Curry's team rejected the ** of other teams, in that year's draft, Curry wanted to be selected by the Knicks with the eighth pick, on the one hand, the Knicks were a giant team in the NBA, and their market and New York's economic benefits were extremely high. Curry's team also hopes that the big market of the New York Knicks can help Curry have more ** degrees and increase Curry's business value.

But unfortunately, the Warriors chose Curry. On the other hand, the reason why Curry wanted to go to the Knicks was that the head coach at the time was D'Anthony, Curry preferred D'Antoni's run-and-gun tactics, and Curry's three-point shooting was also one of the reasons why New York favored it, so Curry's team rejected other teams and ended up with the seventh pick.

Before the draft at that time, the Grizzlies and Timberwolves, as well as the Warriors, were interested in selecting Curry, and in the tryout for the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies' general manager even wanted to draft Curry with a roster pick, but Curry's team refused to play for the Grizzlies, and the Timberwolves had both the fifth and sixth picks that year, but Curry's team also refused. And the Warriors also wanted to get Curry at that time, but Curry liked the Knicks, and he clearly told the Warriors that he would not go to Golden State to play, but on the day of the draft, the Warriors forcibly selected Curry, making the Knicks' plan fall through. The draft was in New York at the time, and when the Warriors drafted Curry, the Knicks audience booed the Warriors.

Today's Curry is undoubtedly one of the best superstars in the league, and among the top 100 players in ESPN, Curry is ranked second above Durant, Harden and others. However, back in the 2009 draft, Curry was only selected by the Warriors with the seventh pick, and before him, there were players such as Evans, Rubio, and Jonny Flynn.

First of all, the traditional concept, in 2009, most team management still believed that the status of the interior was higher than that of a guard, so in that year's draft, the champion would belong to a very physical interior player like Griffin, and even Tabit would become the eye. Tabit is also the most watery player in history, with little offensive prowess, spending only three years in the NBA.

Then there is the problem of the times, today's NBA pays more attention to three-point shooting, almost every team will design a lot of three-point-related tactics, and offensive point guards are more popular, but back in 2009, three-point shooting is not as popular as it is now, and more teams do not recognize the future development trend of the league, so Curry is seriously underestimated as a projection player.

In the end, Curry's strength is far beyond people's imagination, and even beyond the imagination of the Warriors at the time. As a historic defender, Curry's achievements in three-point shooting are absolutely unprecedented, and even Ray Allen and Reggie Miller may not be able to compare. In terms of statistics, he can still guarantee a 40% shooting rate on top of averaging nearly 10 shots per game, and in the peak 2015-16 season, he averaged 5 three-pointers per game, which is absolutely crazy beyond anyone's imagination.

It can only be said that the Warriors really have a vision, and if the draft is rearranged, Curry is definitely a well-deserved champion.

It can be said that it is to the point of beating elementary school students, Curry can be said to be the most successful point guard in the first 10 years, and it is very difficult to like fiber matching, especially in the previous game, which was almost the king of selling plates.

It's very powerful, and the strength is also very superb, no one can compare with it in terms of technology, and he is also a very powerful person in the team.

Very strong, his skills are very high, his ability to play alone is very strong, he has always been a very strong player in the eyes of others.

Very strong. Won a lot of championships, and beat a lot of people, as long as there is his game, it is impossible not to lose.

Curry was a team from an unknown university before he entered the NBA, but with Curry's excellent appearance, he led the school to the Finals.

He shot exceptionally well from the field and led his team to victory, which was impressive.

It can be seen that half of the Warriors' players are selected by their own drafts, which should be extremely rare in the current NBA.

This year is also the Warriors' second playoff appearance after a two-year absence, but many people are not optimistic about their playoffs. Some people think that the Warriors don't have a strong center and are easy to target; Some people don't think there are consistent scoring points other than Curry; Others believe that Klay has undermined the Warriors' system.

Where do you think the Warriors can go this year?

The first and famous draft pick ** was a scouting statement that favored Curry, which affected his ranking to some extent; The scout's remarks on the famous draft have serious implications for the selection of NBA teams in the draft. Their draft statements about most players are relatively accurate, but there are a few misinterpretations, such as Curry.

A complete and accurate scouting statement would require scouts to follow players for months, but this kind of treatment is generally only enjoyed by talented future stars, so the mediocre Curry has a lot to lose in this regard. First, Curry's alma mater, Davidson University, is a member of the NCAA Atlantic Big Ten League. This league was a minor NCAA league at the time and did not have the opportunity to broadcast live nationally.

If scouts want to see Curry in person, they can only play against famous basketball schools like North Carolina and Duke, or wait for Davidson to make the NCAA playout round. Due to a lack of understanding of Curry's game, scouts are biased and even suspected of hearsay. Later, DraftExpress also apologized to Curry for this;

Second, scouts are generally getting more and more demanding on older rookies, penchanting to label them as "with limited potential," as is Curry, who was elected as a junior in his junior year. In the first NCAA playout game of his freshman year, Curry, who scored 30 points, failed to save Davidson. In addition, talented rookies such as Durant and Oden performed outstandingly, and scouts did not see Curry's shining points; In his sophomore season, Curry scored 3 points in four consecutive NCAA playout games against Fan Zhendong.

At that time, the election market was optimistic, and he finally decided to fight for Davidson for another year, and the Scout lost hope; In his junior year, Curry, who was replaced by a point guard, played exceptionally well, averaging nearly 29+6 per game, but his scouting statement always stayed in the early memories of "low", "poor athleticism" and "small forward space";

After all, it is said that the scouting remarks on the draft ** in recent years have been modified by ill intentions, some have been modified, and some have been modified. There are suspicions that Curry was one of the victims back then, but we don't know the truth. Second, Curry could have been selected for a higher ranking, but his team didn't care so much about the ranking and wanted Curry to go to the Big Apple, so he decided to refuse a tryout for a higher-signed team such as the Grizzlies and Thunder, but was intercepted by Jinzhou in the middle of the draft.

The answer to this high vote has already been written in great detail, so I will not repeat it. These two points were the main reasons why Curry eventually fell to seventh place in 2009.

When Curry entered the draft, the Warriors drafted him with the No. 7 pick, mainly because Curry's scouting report said that Curry was fragile and mediocre in other aspects except for his excellent shooting ability.

This was because the competition for the NBA draft at that time was too strong, so Curry fell to the seventh pick in the draft at that time.

Because Curry didn't perform particularly well before the NBA draft, there were many people with better stats than him, and he wasn't very physical, so he only fell to the seventh pick.

Curry is recognized as the No. 1 point guard in the NBA today, and it is because of his inexplicable three-point ability that the NBA has completely entered the era of small ball, and he is an epoch-making superstar. Curry already has two MVPs, three championships, and 402 three-pointers in a single season, and his personal accolades are second only to Johnson among point guards. Curry will not only be inducted into the Hall of Fame, but he will definitely be retired jersey + erected bronze statue, which is definitely the treatment of supergiants.

It's that Kongzhen Wucurry is so strong, and he was only ranked 7th in the 2009 draft, so who are the champions, lists, and tanhuas of that year, and what are the achievements, after reading it, you can understand where the gap is.

Tanhua: Harden first played as a substitute, anyway, he was the third leader of the team in the Thunder, and the protagonists of the Thunder at that time were Wei Shao and Durant. However, coming to the Rockets, this became a turning point in Harden's career, where he was on full fire for 8 years, and the retreat three-point step of the league alone could not be prevented at all.

He has won the scoring title 3 times, 1 MVP, 1 assist title, and 6 seasons in one season, and is second only to Olajuwon in Rockets history. Now that Harden is just one championship away, his all-time status will be greatly enhanced.

Eye: The inside line with a height of 2.21 meters, no team will refuse, and the Grizzlies selected Tabit for this reason. was expecting him to rule the inner line, but who would have thought that he would become a parallel import.

Career average rebounds per game, this height scoring and defense are at the bottom of the league, this is really a waste of his height. In the NBA, he changed 4 teams in 5 years, and he didn't even count as a substitute in the team, he just played soy sauce, and now he is almost forgotten.

Champion: Although Griffin was reimbursed in his rookie season, he was strong after his comeback. In the first year, Griffin, whose performance did not lose history any superstar, so he also had the reputation of "White Monster".

Griffin has a violent style of play, and has countless fans with various violent dunks. But injuries became the biggest obstacle to Griffin's ascension, and after leaving the Clippers, he was completely reduced to a fighter or a "glass man". Now he is a high-paid and low-performance representative of the league, and he can only be regarded as a qualified starter in the Nets.

It can be seen that in the top 3 picks in 2009, only Harden can wrestle with Curry. Like Thabit and Griffin, there is no comparison with Curry at all. When both Harden and Curry retired, the best stars in the class of 2009 at that time chose one of the two.

Curry's 09 draft, the first place is Griffin, the top pick, the physical fitness, super dunk everyone knows very well. Curry was very thin at the beginning, and there was no team before him that was a long-range three-point team that ran the world. Therefore, at that time, no one could ** how lethal Curry was in the future.

Then there are teams from two to six, in fact, Curry has a chance, but if you are not a big step above others, you have to accept the team's invitation to tryout, which is the team's choice for you.

The Grizzlies did not choose Curry, the Timberwolves also missed Curry with two consecutive picks, and the Warriors got the opportunity to choose Curry, so they chose Curry without hesitation, and the eighth pick Knicks could only be helpless. In 2009, Curry had not yet graduated from college and announced his participation in the NBA draft. At that time, Curry was not favored by scouts and teams, who thought Curry was too skinny, couldn't guard against NBA-caliber players, and relied too much on outside shooting.

But the Warriors took a fancy to him.

At the same time, after the Warriors selected Curry, the Suns still wanted to get Curry through a trade, and the Suns management had also contacted Curry and his agent to tell them not to go to the press conference, and they tried to make a trade with the Warriors, but then the deal was not reached, and the Warriors got Curry, the star who has allowed them to achieve where they are now.

Curry also rejected the Timberwolves and Warriors' tryout invitations because he liked the Knicks, and the Grizzlies had the No. 2 pick at the time and also invited Curry to try out, but Curry didn't consider being selected by the Grizzlies at that time, and also declined the invitation. With the first eight picks, Curry only accepted the King's trial invitation, but at that time, the Kings believed that Curry's trial performance was not as good as Evans', so he did not let the King change his mind.

The report is only a paper analysis, often ignoring the individual's will, as well as the attitude of training, and the level of effort in the future. Not really a point guard, but definitely the most containment guard! The shooting selection is not good, but the so-called art master is bold, that is, he can throw so many unreasonable balls!

Relying too much on the outside line is because he shoots accurately from the outside.
