You've never seen him play, huh? And that's 30+ per game -- the nation's best scoring clip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538159334790759434.post-66481904018768812322008-12-10T11:12:00.000-05:002008-12-10T11:12:00.000-05:00To the anonymous coward:Before last night's aberra...To the anonymous coward:<BR/><BR/>Before last night's aberration, Curry was 50% from the floor for the year. <BR/><BR/>That tripe about "if any player shot that much they would score that much" is just that - tripe. If it were so, more players would do it.DrFrankLiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01045445948725325218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538159334790759434.post-53284568588709188082008-12-10T11:10:00.000-05:002008-12-10T11:10:00.000-05:00Justin, I got a few names for you:Ben Allison (fre...Justin, I got a few names for you:<BR/><BR/>Ben Allison (freshman)<BR/>Frank Ben-Eze (freshman)<BR/>JP Kuhlman (recruit)<BR/>Jake Cohen (recruit)<BR/><BR/>We're in a different league now with our recruiting.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and my money is on Steph pulling a Tim Duncan.

Gonzaga has only been once.<BR/><BR/>The same was said of Gonzaga after Morrison jumped to the NBA. Now, just 3 years later, Gonzaga is national championship material. 3 years from now, Davidson will still be a contender for the SoCon Tournament and the Sweet Sixteen. Stephen Curry is only a part of the Davidson resurgence, not the resurgence itself.<BR/><BR/>Only time will tell, but I think Davidson will remain a mid-major power, like the Zags, Creighton, the Sallukis, and Butler.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538159334790759434.post-59235179560608202592008-12-10T08:30:00.000-05:002008-12-10T08:30:00.000-05:00Take any team and let ONE player take over 50% of ...Take any team and let ONE player take over 50% of the shots.
