Why it’s hard

Scott:

Davidson star Stephen Curry will announce Thursday at an 11:30 a.m. on-campus press conference whether he’s staying in school for his senior year or going pro.

Here’s the weird thing: Davidson coach Bob McKillop still doesn’t know what Curry’s decision is going to be. And neither do Curry’s parents.

“He told us he just wants to sleep on it,” Dell Curry, Stephen’s father, told me Wednesday night. “But he honestly hasn’t told us what he’s going to do yet.”

Said McKillop Wednesday night: “I don’t think Steph knows what he’s going to decide right now. His heart is feeling one way. His head is feeling another way. Somehow, he’s got to get his heart and his head feeling the same way.”


Interesting. Not that surprising, though -- not if you know the kid. He said early on in this process that he didn’t want it to drag out, and that he’d make a decision fairly quickly, but I think in retrospect he said that just hoping something somehow would show itself. This was never going to be easy. Go one way, and he lets himself down; go the other, and he lets other people down, or at least he’ll feel that way, even if it’s not true. And Stephen’s really one who wants to please those who are closest to him.
