What Happened To The 6 Players Drafted Before Stephen Curry

[@facebooksmith1269]

As a warriors fan, I was disgusted when they took Curry that year. I was even more pissed when they got rid of Monte Ellis and kept Curry few years later. I guess it's safe to say that I'd probably make a shitty GM.

[@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403]

Obviously there's a certain amount of luck when it comes to drafting players and nobody can measure what's inside a person's heart. Hell, the Trailblazers picked Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan!

That's alright, there's 31 GMs and 31 lead scouts from the NFL who still wake up drowning in their own tears every day since Tom Brady was drafted...in last place.

[@devantetoppin7879]

I mean if you ask anyone then if Curry would be what is he is today they'd be lying if they said they knew especially when there were so many factors screaming otherwise. Hindsight is 20/20 and a player like Curry is an anomaly. That gamble probably goes the other way in most cases.

The Rubio pick was absolutely defensible at the time. His playmaking was pretty incredible and there was plenty of hype about what he would potentially bring to the game, especially at a time when the 3-point shot wasn't as emphasized. However, when they picked a 2nd point guard in the same draft, and that pick was Johnny Flynn, people started scratching their heads. The funny thing is they had another pick in the 1st round and picked yet another point guard - Ty Lawson - but they traded him away on draft night. Just some puzzling moves.

Same with the 2009 Magic with Hedo,JJ, Lewis, etc. People started to realize you could have success with a faster pace and great outside shooting. The Warriors saw the trend and drafted the right guys to capitalize on it. The reason the game changed after that was because the Warriors won the chip in 2015. But then again, unlike the Suns and Magic, they didn’t face a juggernaut like the Lakers and Spurs that year. I think the biggest challenge was the Grizz who played a very old brand of basketball.

[@waynejrice]

It's just another case of falling in love with athleticism or height instead of what makes a player great--smarts, heart, and the actual ability to play. The best players are not the most athletic. Does it help? Of course. Is it as important as actual ability to play the sport? No. But it is easy to get seduced by it. It's like a beautiful woman (or man): it can be difficult to see the actual person when you're contending with a great deal of outer beauty. It is easy to overlook a beautiful woman's flaws in her personality when you're distracted by a beautiful appearance--especially at the beginning when you have no experience with that person. It is also much easier to judge athleticism than it is ability to play successfully in the league. Do you think the Lakers knew about Kobe's work ethic or the Warriors about Steph's devotion to conditioning or what those things would wrought over time? No way. They're not horses; they're people.

[@randomando4470]

Completely agree. There were so many high IQ players in the league that were nowhere near elite in athleticism, yet everyone kept harping on the same that. Same thing with football -- how many QB's check off all the boxes (height, wingspan, etc.) and turn out to be absolute busts. Smarts, Heart and ability trumps athleticism every time.

I will never understand why the nba did not value the three back then‐‐or even decades prior. 3>2!!!

[@jefferybaird4845]

Honestly as a Wolves fan the wolves would have destroyed Curry's career. Everything about the front office at that time was bad. The coach was bad. There was no way Curry would have been the player he is if he had gone to the wolves. I really wanted curry here that draft. I personally liked him a lot more than rubio. But I and happy for the NBA to have him playing for Golden State. If he had been a Timberwolf his career would be over by now.

Stephen Curry had became the top 10 point guard of playing a smart basketball career and finding his confidences working out on a good championship elite team level of winning 4 championships and a MVP award! Great video! I am just subscribed to your channel 💯👍🔔🙏 Does Jimmerrange respond?

Top 10 player, not only point guard

As I warriors fan Steph should be 1st pick in the draft if they did it again but go dubs And let’s go back to back

[@H3ndr1x]

I remember my dad told me about how the coach before Steve Kerr was called crazy but now with him selecting klay and steph just look at it now...

[@ahmadazem4167]

Coaches don't pick players, gms and front offices do.

[@thebestcentaur]

Jonny Flynn coulda been something special if that injury didn't totally destroy his game. Def didn't deserve to be taken ahead of Stef, but one of the biggest what-ifs in recent memory IMO

[@jeremiecharlotte2358]

Write the numbers would be an improvement to the video

[@zjejshxbshx5071]

Fact is, Curry was an average player… For the way the game was played. Thus, he just changed the game to be the best 🤷‍♂️

[@neilbryanbucsit197]

My honest opinion on this drafts top 10 Blake Griffin-superstar Hasheem Thabeet-bust James Harden-superstar/Hofer Tyreke Evans-misdeveloped Ricky Rubio-injured early but still a quality starter Jonny Flynn-promising but got injured Steph Curry-superstar/hofer Jordan Hill-early journeyman Demar Derozan-superstar Brandon Jennings-promising but got injured

[@Xyris222]

Can also feel bad for the knicks too lol

[@sabishiihito]

1:18 that guy makes it look like Curry got dropped into a 1970s college basketball game.

As a Wolves fan. You get used to Minnesota teams making stupid decisions

[@8kings23]

Try being a Kings fan 😒

[@TanisHalf-Elven]

For every Curry you've got 31 Yinka Dare types

[@nysom3356]

sometimes its not the players but its the teams development of rookies. some of these players would of done so well in the league if they were drafted elsewhere.

Blake, got hit with the Kardashian curse going strong

You can tell jimmer range don’t care to much about Blake griffin when talking about him.

[@codyviera92]

These guys before him are actually pretty good

Now personally I-💀💀

[@JimmyG1776]

If they knew what we know now, Curry would have been the Number one pick by far.
