Curry to be in draft "green room"

Get ready for more of Stephen Curry in prime time -- the former star guard at Davidson has officially received his "green room" invite for the NBA draft.

The draft will be held Thursday, June 25, at Madison Square Garden in New York, and will be televised by ESPN.

Members of Curry's family will also be there, of course. And Davidson coach Bob McKillop will also attend the draft and be in the "green room," McKillop told me this week. No word on the suit Curry will wear just yet (ha!), but it's almost certain that his name will be called early rather than late in the draft.

Curry could be picked as high as No.3 overall by Oklahoma City and won't last past No.8, where his preferred team, the New York Knicks, are picking. His draft stock has skyrocketed since he declared he was leaving Davidson one season early to go pro, based on excellent workouts, interviews and other measurables.

Curry's next move: heading to Sacramento this weekend for another pre-draft workout. The Kings pick No.4 overall.

Readers: Thanks for the copy-editing. I must have just been waking up when posting this blog, accidentally typing Jan.25 instead of June 25th for the NBA draft date and saying Curry was leaving two seasons early, not one. Anyway, the post is correct now.

LMAO, NAZI Fowler removed our posts. Oh I guess the truth hurts. Go back to planting your nose up CATMAN'S behind Fowler, isn't time for him to get yet another FREE truck he doesn't deserve because of your whining on his behalf?

How long before Nazi boy takes this HONEST post down?

Some people are just idiots....you have just affirmed that. I appreciate Fowler, Curry and those that tell the story.

Blogs are for opinions. Don't care about someone else's, write a thoughtful, insightful counter argument, not derogatory, hurtful or racial slurs.
