The Warriors took Stephen Curry with the 7th pick. And that's good and that's bad. He is a great shooter and will fit in perfectly with Monta Ellis on offense. He has more range on his jump shot than Ellis. He also will push Ellis at point guard -- and that's good.
But at 6-3 he's a relative shrimp and he's not a good defender. If the W's play him and Ellis together they will have the worst defensive backcourt in the league.
There is all this talk the Warriors are trying to get Amare Stoudemire. He would be better for the W's than Curry. I can't believe Don Nelson is going to just leave things like this. Stay tuned.
My kid Iggy is here sitting right next to me at W's HQ and he agrees with everything I just wrote.
I have read a few reports that the Knicks were
sky high on Curry. I do not see that as a ringing endorsement of this pick.
when teams drive around our guards, who is going to stop their lay-up drills? sorry, no answer at this
point.
what is the mood of Warriors officials with the
Curry pick?

Who? Not Stoudemire - he doesn't play D.
I think regardless of whether or not they keep Ellis or Curry, they still obviously need a true point guard. It would be very nice to get our hands on Stoudamire, although that wouldn't solve everything. It would definitely make games more fun to watch. Imagine, the combo of Stoudamire and Ellis or Curry or both, and potentially the talent of someone who was born to play the point guard position...
