Sorry, if I had to choose between Steph Curry and UNC’s Wayne Elington for my NBA team, I’m taking Weezy everytime — primarily because I’ve seen him play better defense than Steph Curry has ever dreamt about.
Put another way, Adam Morrison. The parallels with Curry are striking. Small school Cinderella darling, big time scorer, S-PIN highlight reel fave. No defense. Oh, sure Curry will play the odd passing lane and is orders of magnitude quicker than Morrison, but this is the NBA. Guys you’ve never heard of will put up 20 in a quarter against weak defenders.
Two more words: Dell Curry. Cat was bigger than Steph, never asked to check PGs, and still was a defensive liability.
Still, I hope it all works out. I expect Ty Lawson and Elington to enter the draft here in a couple hours. That’ll be the right choice. For them.
