Career high for Stephen

22.

Where to?

Howard Beck of the NYT says OKC.

What will Presti do?

Chad Ford: The scuttle is that Curry is the hot name in the Thunder’s draft war room. Loud City. The Oklahoman. Presti.

Oklahoma City?

Seems like every morning I get a Stephen update in my inbox from Sporting News Today. Here’s this morning’s: The latest mock draft has him going No. 3 to the Thunder. “The consensus seems to be that the Thunder will take SG James Harden. But the Thunder almost never do what the consensus indicates. Curry would give OKC a sweet-shooting combo guard to pair with PG Russell Westbrook.” Stephen on Dan Patrick.

Warriors:

According to one source, the Warriors have tried to get Curry to visit and told him they’d guarantee picking him 7th if he impressed them on a visit. But no visit, so far.

Kings:

Following a workout with the Washington Wizards (picking fifth) Tuesday, Curry told Washington reporters he’ll head to Sacramento this weeked to audition for the Kings (picking fourth). Steph’s dad, Dell, indicated previously that Steph would likely cut off workouts after the Washington session, in hopes he’d last to the Knicks at No. 8.

The reality is Curry’s just too valuable in this draft to last that long. He could go as high as No. 3 (Oklahoma City).

Hello, my name is ... Stephen Curry. Loud Links (scroll to the bottom).

The Stephen buzz

Portland chatter: If the Blazers hone in on Curry, they might have to move up to No. 6, or higher. Oklahoma City, which owns the third pick, evidently likes the son of ex-NBA marksman Dell Curry a lot.

Chad Ford

ESPN draft guru on Stephen: I think his window starts at OKC at No. 3, the Wizards take a look at him at No. 5, Wolves at 6 and Warriors at 7. The most likely scenario is that he goes 8 to the Knicks. But yes, he was impressive and I just got the combine results and he looked good. He had an impressive 35.5 inch vertical and surprisingly benched the 185 pound bar 10 times. He's stronger and more explosive than you think.

Workouts

Coming up.

Better than you think

Scott:

Curry was somewhat of a surprise as the second-place finisher, which speaks to how well he was received at the combine, where he shot the lights out, measured a little bigger than expected and looked like he fit in with the other point guards on the floor. He also was a pro in the interviews, and many of the older GMs feel the fact that he grew up around the NBA game will help him make a quick transition to the pros. Three GMs had him ranked as the top point guard in the draft, and he received seven second-place votes, too. One GM had him ranked sixth. This coincides with a number of things I heard at the camp that had the Thunder, Wizards and Warriors all looking at possibly selecting Curry before the Knicks draft at No. 8.

More here: He could easily find himself in the top five when the Draft rolls around.

Don’t say stupid things

Mitch Lawrence:

Oklahoma City has a Stephen Curry fixation. The Thunder attended all of Curry’s home games at Davidson this past season and is looking at him as a potential shooting guard. But they’ll almost certainly move down from the No. 3 pick if they decide to take him. Scouts are not only high on Curry’s shooting, but also think he can make players better around him. “When you look at that Davidson team, they barely had any other Division I players,” said one scout.

Barely had any other Division I players? It’s just wrong. The team maybe had only one NBA player, maybe had only one ACC-type player, maybe -- but come on. The pool of talent that fills the rosters of the more than 300 Division I basketball-playing colleges and universities is wide and varied.

Thunder?

New York Post: The Combine buzz is Oklahoma City, selecting third, also is very interested in Stephen Curry and has scouted him furiously.
