I had curry pegged as a 4th rounder, great talent but e injuries scare me. First to second round talent though. And if he is going to be healthy for training camp that's a good way to start things off
I've got him pegged as early 3rd for the same reasons you mentioned. Those ankles really worry me.
With Lebron, you don't need upside, I think a sure thing would have been the better move and there were some sure things still available. But I could see how going with the "sure thing" approach around Lebron could be a little boring.
Curry is a sure thing. He's had two healthy seasons, and one where he had an ankle injury that he kept coming back from too soon because the kid is ultra-competitive (kind of like several of the GMs in here).
Eric Gordon is an injury risk (20+ games missed in each of the last three years). Andrew Bynum is an injury risk (one healthy season, ever.) Curry just had one injury-marred season.
when I said I had him pegged as a fourth round pick I really meant that i didn't feel the aggravation of defending a player coming off injury was worth it unless he fell to the fourth round haha. I love curry as a talent and as a locker room guy. Just learned my lesson about injured players after my first year here, too aggravating. Though Roy is a better persuader than I am!
