Tonight in New Orleans

Stephen: Three assists shy of a triple-double. Another loss.

What Chris Paul sees

When he looks at Stephen of Davidson: “He had to shoot the ball the whole time in college. A lot of people have underestimated his ballhandling ability, too. He’s a complete player. At times, he’ll get a chance to show it. At times, he’ll just be a shooter. When he has to, in the open court and stuff like that, he’s great with the ball.”

Kuhlman a rookie to watch

Robbi at the N&O:

No one can fill the void of Stephen Curry, but the 6-3 combo guard should steadily earn more and more minutes as a back-up ballhandler and perimeter shooter.

Here I’ll offer a reminder of one Dave Telep. Telep has a good eye. He was the first recruiting analyst who looked at a 16-year-old Chris Paul and said not “Too small” but rather “Watch out.” On Stephen? He kinda had an inkling. And on Kuhlman? “He has it. The mysterious it.”

The Times-Pic:

With enormous expectations to start this upcoming season as a rookie with the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry sought out Paul for help this summer. They worked out together this past week at the Alario Center.

Curry, the son of former Charlotte Hornets guard Dell Curry, led the nation in scoring with a 28.6 average at Davidson last season. He was the seventh overall pick in June’s draft by the Warriors.

“To come in and learn from an All-Star and Olympic gold-medal winner is pretty special,” Curry said. “You see how hard he works, and I picked up things and competed with him one-on-one. I just feel like it’s a head start for me to start my career off right.”

Curry likely will play point guard, although he played shooting guard for two seasons at Davidson.

“I’ve known Stephen for awhile,” Paul said. “He grew up in Charlotte, and I was down in Winston-Salem. We’ve been working out all summer, and I think he’s as prepared for his rookie season as he can be.”

It’s worth noting that the kid from Clemmons is best buds with LeBron.
