I watched a little bit of the Team USA scrimmage, and every time Steph Curry did something good I felt a little sad.
Dude's a baller..he's just got it. And why isn't he on our team? He's the facilitator and shooter that everybody wants Harden to become.
Let me say: I love James Harden. And the pick is a good and sensible pick. He has good size, and I think he has a similar ceiling for craftiness as somebody like Manu Ginobli. He'll become a better shooter, and he'll absolutely be a solid off-guard for a presumably lengthy career. But man, CURRY IS GOOD.
So why not? Curry would have put 2 undersized combo-guards in the OKC back-court, and it might have hurt the chemistry a bit by showing a lack-of-confidence in Westbrook's ability to run the show by himself. But then again: maybe Curry would have fit in excellently, everybody would have gotten along, and the team would have run around the court making neat passes and raining threes.
Discuss.
