Still obviously possessing a shoot-first mentality, Curry has looked fairly unselfish running his teams offense, displaying excellent court vision and a real knack for getting teammates involved (relative to the teams situation). The biggest revelation of this season is the relative ease in which Curry has converted to the point guard position. Hes one of the few players in the NCAA that you can actually say that the game will likely become easier for once hes in the NBA, playing alongside better players and getting far more easy looks. Curry shoulders an unbelievable share of the offensive load for Davidson, ranking #1 in the NCAA in usage rate, and #2 in field goal attempts per-40. The problem is that his teammates just arent good enough to punish the opposition for the way they ignore them, as they rely so incredibly heavily on his ability to generate offense for them. The entire game-plan of every team he faces revolves solely around shutting him down, which makes it a little bit difficult to accurately evaluate him. There isnt a player in the country who receives as much scrutiny from opposing defenses as Curry does. Hes also become one of the best ball-thieves in college basketball, at over 3 steals per game.

Best of all, Currys assist numbers are through the roof now that hes taken over the point guard duties full time from Jason Richards (who graduated), dishing out twice as many this season while only increasing his turnovers marginally.

His 3-point percentages are down by almost 6%, but he is getting to the free throw line at a much better rate to compensate, and shoots 87% once there.
STEPH CURRY STATS THREES SERIES
The junior combo became a household name last March with a series of heroic performances in the NCAA tournament, and has clearly upped his draft stock by deciding to return for another year.Ĭurry isnt scoring quite as efficiently as last season, but hes become even more prolificcurrently ranking as the #1 scorer in college basketball any way you slice it. Staying in school might become all the rage soon, based on the experiences of collegiate stars like Blake Griffin, Jordan Hill, James Harden, Hasheem Thabeet and Stephen Curry. He did use 2.6 possessions per game as a jump shooter running off of screens, so he does have a nice base of experience there, but it is notable how far apart Currys role in the NCAA was from the role he is likely to play in the NBA. In terms of guard play, his 41% shooting in transition ranks second to last, showing how hard he was pressing to score, but his 1.3 PPP on the pick and roll is excellentwhich leaves a lot of room for optimism. Averaging 8.3 isolations per game (68.3% Left), Curry probably wont sniff half that number next season. Hes not likely to use a lot of one-on-one possessions, but he used 8.6 per game last season (1st). Hes likely to do a lot of his damage in spot up situations in the NBA, but got only 8.9% of his possessions off of spot ups last seasons. Projecting him to the next level, Curry is an interesting case. In terms of his shooting off the dribble, Curry took 11.6 pulls up jumpers per game, more shots than some players took in total. Curry took 5.4 catch and shoot jumpers per game, and his 1.15 PPP with a hand in his face and 1.33 PPP when left open both land him well above average. 94 PPP with a grain of salt, since it is representative of the load he carried and not the role he will play in the NBA. With that in mind, it is important to take his average. Its 50% higher than any other point guard not named Lester Hudson. Stephen Curry had little opportunity to be efficient, since he was doing enough shooting for three people at Davidson.Ĭurrys 31.9 possessions per game is highest usage of any player in the draft this season.
