Tommy Dee:

Curry’s game appears to have similarities to Steve Nash, whom the Suns picked 15th overall in 1996. Nash was a relative unknown talent who, after a few years of development at a small school, has gone on to become a future Hall-of-Fame guard. People questioned Nash’s strength and defensive capabilities right out of college, and Curry has had similar doubters.
