Rookie of the Year?

Marcus Thompson tonight on Twitter: More ROY fodder @DIMEMag @StephenCurry30 just broke the record for most made treys in a season for an NBA rookie (159). Kawakami: Here’s how. Bleacher Report after the other night in Minnesota: Curry fell two rebounds and three steals short of accomplishing a very rare quadruple-double. Wizards coach Flip Saunders: “He’s going to be a very good player in this league for a long time.”

Players know players

Caron Butler: “If Stephen Curry is there, you saw what he did at the workout, you saw what he did this season. I think besides Blake Griffin, he’s probably one of the two or three best players in college basketball. It’s kind of simple, I think.”

Knicks talking trade?

Newsday:

The bold move by the Knicks, however, would not be to target Thabeet or even Spanish guard Ricky Rubio. It appears more likely that Davidson’s Stephen Curry or Memphis’ Tyreke Evans are the more coveted prospects.

Daily News. Washington Post.

We want Steph

Washington: ... fans here want Ernie Grunfeld to take Davidson point guard Stephen Curry with the fifth pick on Thursday.

Wizards Insider

Michael Lee: The 6-3 junior is an awesome shooter, a prolific scorer and arguably the most NBA-ready guard ...

After the Wizards workout

Stephen: “I’m a point guard first, but I can spread the floor without the ball. I’ve developed my game a lot. My game has evolved.”

Washington

Michael Lee:

When the Wizards met Curry in Chicago, he wowed them in the interview from what I hear. Curry is probably the most NBA ready of the three point guards at Verizon Center that are expected to go in the lottery. He seems grounded and has a great basketball IQ (At one point, Wizards Coach Flip Saunders shouted up toward Grunfeld and tapped his right temple, which I assumed was a signal that Curry was pretty smart. After all, the guy is still studying for his college degree at Davidson).

Dan Steinberg:

Curry has just one tattoo: the letters TCC and “-30-” on his wrist. TCC is a Davidson motto that stands for “Trust Commitment Care,” while 30 is Curry’s number. Of course, -30- also means the end of a newspaper story, which I guess Curry wasn’t referring to. He also said he would never become a tatted-up NBA star.

“I’d go home, my mom would slap me around,” he said. “Can’t do that.”

Tomorrow in Washington

Michael Lee: Of course, most people locally remember how he single handily shot down Georgetown in the NCAA Tournament in 2008.

Chatter

DraftExpress: The talk is that the Washington Wizards’ 5th pick could very well end up being claimed by Stephen Curry (whether for them or another team trading up) ... Post.

In the Washington Post ...

Michael Lee:

Curry, who will always be remembered for knocking off Georgetown two seasons ago, sees himself possibly sharing the back court with Arenas in Washington. “I see myself as a true point who can score. I’ve evolved my game the last year to do that,” the 6-3 Curry said. “If they can move him to the two again. Me and him being a one-two combo would be fun.”

Selection Sunday

Feinstein: “There’s no better example of that than Davidson. The Wildcats have one very good nonconference win: West Virginia. They have road losses to Oklahoma (by four), Purdue and Duke. Two of their seven losses were the direct result of Stephen Curry’s injury. And yet, few people expect them to show up in the bracket this evening.”

Zero

And here I thought this was going to be about Stephen: “If you look at zero you see nothing; but look through it and you will see the world.”
