Wow, approximately three days after we (Duke) got destroyed against Villanova by 23 points we are back on the rebound picking up Liberty's ex-star guard and 2009 NCAA Freshman of the Year Seth Curry.
Crazy thing is that while I was in the shower about 40 minutes ago I was seriously facing the facts that Gerald Henderson & Kyle Singler may opt to enter the NBA Draft leaving us with absolutely no legitimate threat on offense (other than our 6-5 sharpshooter Jon Scheyer who was moved to the PG slot but lacks decision making skills in 2/3-1 fastbreak oppurtunities). Until, I thought of Seth Curry, a Point Guard that posses a deadly three point shot, the size to drive to the basket, draw the foul, and sink the free-throws. After toweling off and getting back on my laptop i saw my homie B-Leedy's status that read "SETH CURRY'S GOING TO DUKE" and began to viciously peck the keys in Google "seth curry duke".
After reading Andy Katz little write-up i simply began to chant "YES YES YES" and clap at the same time. btw, as I type this i just noticed that Andy Katz made a typo by saying that Dell Curry (Seth's Father) was a "former star guard with the Charlotte Bobcats" lmao but it's all good Andy...everyone makes mistakes...even super sports analysts.
So i'm very pleased with Coach K's decision to offer a scholarship to an athlete seeking more of a competitive conference that the Big-South didn't offer him. Even though Curry will have to sit out this upcoming season, it's all good because that just gives him more time to hit the weight room and Duke's wonderful practice facility and become the best player he can be.
and if you have time please peep this vid of his freshman season highlight tape...he has pretty good court awareness and some sick passes...his signature move seems to be some kind of crossover whether step-back or ordinary followed with a jumper
thats automatic!
and to think...this is what a person who was only ranked a three-star athelete out of high school with only three colleges showing interest in him (Liberty, Davidson and VT) can achieve...SMH
