Hoops in Chicago

It hasn’t taken Davidson All-American point guard Stephen Curry long to get excited about playing for the Knicks.

Curry, who averaged 28.6 points for the Wildcats as a junior last season, was considered the face of of college basketball even though his Southern Conference team couldn’t repeat its cinderella run to the Final Eight in 2008. The 6-3 Curry has been linked to the Knicks -- who have the eighth pick in next month’s NBA draft -- for close to two months. He got a chance to visit with Knicks president Donnie Walsh and coach Mike D’Antoni last night after the first day of the pre-draft combine.
