What they're saying:

RealGM: Stephen Curry can shoot, that much we all know. But his abilities as a pure point guard are better than some might realize.

ESPN: NBA executives have mixed opinions on Curry. Some worry that he lacks the size, strength, explosive athleticism to be a great NBA player. They also worry that Curry won't be able to make the transition to the pros. Others think he's going to be a terrific NBA player. They see a kid with unlimited range, good quickness, and a big time basketball IQ. He may not be a pure point guard yet, but give him a little time and he could be great. Look for him to go somewhere between 8 and 15 in the draft.

Collegehoopsnet.com: One of the great debates of this year’s draft class is how good of a pro Stephen Curry will be. While it is highly doubtful he will be as good in the NBA as he is in college, he has enough tools to have a fighting chance to excel in the NBA. Whether he can play point guard in the NBA might be the biggest determinant as to what kind of career he will have.

NBADraft.net: Puts a lot of pressure on defense with his scoring ability and quickness ... Looks fearless on the floor and plays under control ... Can get any shot he wants and has great shot efficiency.

HoopsHype.com: Incredible shooter/scorer. Highly productive player who is clearly the most deadly perimeter shooting threat in college basketball. Hits tough shots with the greatest of ease, with his feet set or off the dribble. Extremely poised and confident player with an excellent feel for the game.

DraftExpress.com: Go-to scoring mentality…off-ball movement…offensive creativity…competitiveness…ability to create own shot…aggressiveness…ability to create for others.
