Stephen Curry shoots the 3

That is a popular question being asked by NCAA tourney watchers who aren't fully engulfed in College Basketball.

Stephen Curry is definitely the talk of the tournament so far. He has lit up both Gonzaga and Georgetown and has made quite a Cinderella story out of Davidson, who is in their third straight tournament appearance. He is a pure shooter who can drain the three with his opponent in his face (as we have seen), and can lead his team back from large deficits.

Against the Gonzaga Bulldogs, Stephen Curry scored 30 points in the 2nd half alone to help Davidson come back and win after being down by as much as eleven. Curry finished the game shooting 8-of-10 from three point range.

Is he ready for the NBA?

There is no doubt that Curry can shoot the rock, but so could J.J. Reddick, and we all see how pretty non-existent he has been in the NBA. J.J. is a pure shooter as well, but struggles in the NBA have really had an effect on his confidence.

Curry has proved himself to be clutch over the last couple of tournament games but critics have pointed out that he needs to bulk up more for the NBA. The kid is a bit of a pencil neck who is the son of former NBA player Dell Curry, so it’s in his blood to play basketball. Dell was also a great 3-pt. shooter.

Listed at 6 foot 3 inches and weighing 185, Stephen Curry is currently a Sophomore averaging over 25 points per game. Last year (2006-2007 season), Curry was second to Kevin Durant in scoring for all freshman.

Coming out of high school, Curry went virtually unnoticed from major ACC schools in the area. Most ACC schools thought Curry, given his slender figure, couldn't handle the physical nature of ACC basketball, so they all passed on him.

Stephen Curry has made great statements this year in College Basketball and I am sure any coach would love to have a player such as him on their team.
