Finally #1 on the NBA.com rookie rankings, his performance has gotten a lot more notice recently as one Western conference scout had this to say:
“[Tyreke] Evans is going to win it and [Brandon] Jennings was up there early, but [Steph] Curry is going to wind up being the best player of the three. He’s the ray of hope in Golden State because he’s got the shots, he’s got the moves, he’s marketable and he’s only going to get better. And I think his teammates like playing with him. He’s a great shooter, obviously, but he’s unselfish. He’s looking to get other guys involved. You can argue that [Curry's] numbers are inflated playing in Golden State’s system, but you could have said that about a lot of rookies over the years. Most of the top rookies are on bad teams. Rookies of the Year aren’t coming from the Lakers. The issue is what the Warriors are going to do with [Monta] Ellis, because it’s obvious that that team needs to be built around Curry, and Curry defers too much when Ellis is in there.”
