HoopsHype commented: Curry is the most important game changer. But attending Davidson College and his mundane athleticism allowed him to be selected with only the seventh pick, and he had never before had a player with the label of a shooter — even if he could hit a dribble or catch a shot anywhere on the pitch — to become a true superstar. But Curry has changed the way he plays, opening a door for many of today's young stars like Trae Young to be able to play that way.
One of the highlights of Curry's draft story is that the Timberwolves' then-president of basketball operations, David Kahn, didn't pick a guard before Curry — he picked two in a row, Rubio and Flynn. The Warriors were able to take the two-time MVP and three-time championship winner with the seventh pick.
Another interesting story that is well-known is that Curry, his family and agent all wanted the Knicks to choose him. Dale Curry said in a phone interview at the time: "The Warriors have a lot of unclear roles, but the Knicks really need a point guard, and playing under D'Antoni and playing at Madison Garden Square is so suitable for Curry!" "
Downey Wall, then head of the Knicks, can only wonder how Curry might change the course of Knicks history. "Well, every time I see him playing, I think about it." He said. 'Curry was the player I was really looking for and at one point we thought we had him and when we lost him, I knew we were missing something precious and special.'
Seventh pick after Curry: Bernard King, Chris Mullin, Kevin Johnson.
The lack of health and run-in time could spell hidden dangers for the Warriors' playoffs
"The Warriors are currently facing two concerns." NBA journalist Mark Haynes wrote in a SortPoint op-ed. "One is that they have hardly been healthy this season, and the other is that as the Suns and Grizzlies' teams get better and better, the Warriors' short run-in time will bring hidden dangers to the team in the playoffs."
