From Bill Simmons’ draft diary:

A disappointed Stern announces that the Warriors picked Curry -- really, it was like the opposite of the Rubio announcement -- followed by New York’s crowd reacting like offices in Wall Street after the O.J. verdict. Too bad. “D’Antoni Ball + Curry = magic.” We’ll never know.

Also: There is no bigger Curry fan than I am. He’s going to be a star. I have no doubt.

After the workout in New York: “He said, 'Because Allan Houston said he doesn’t want to be the second-best shooter in Knicks’ history.” Newsday.

Newsday:

The Davidson star has been expressing his desire to be a Knick since before the draft lottery and Wednesday he will get his chance to leave Walsh and D’Antoni equally smitten when he comes in for his workout at MSG’s Westchester campus.

McKillop on Stephen

In the Daily News: “Mike plays a full-court game -- he’s constantly in attack mode. That system is a very good fit for Stephen’s talents. I think he’ll be very effective because of his physical talent as a shooter and ... the unselfish nature of the way he plays the game.”

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.
