Baller: Stephen Curry – Davidson
In 10 years, Stephen Curry could be the most successful player in the draft. His sweet shooting stroke is reminiscent of Ray Allen and he has the toughness of Allen Iverson. If Curry can land with a team that needs a legit scorer, he has the chance to make a great impact soon.
