Unlike one-dimensional shooters, Steph has great handle and quickness, so he can create for himself off the dribble. He also makes up for his lack of height by having one of the quickest releases I've ever seen. He's a terrific passer and considering how often he sees double- and triple-teams, he's ridiculously efficient and doesn't turn the ball over a lot. The guy from the past few years that I'd compare him to is Rodney Stuckey, another tweener from an inferior conference. Steph's numbers are easily better than Stuckey's were at EWU across the board, and Stuckey's turned into a solid pro. Not to mention the kid is stupid clutch and has a short memory when it comes to missed shots.
I'm not going to say for sure that he'll be an NBA star, but his ability to get his shot off will give him the chance to prove himself.

No way he can create his own shot in a meaningful NBA game. He isnt quick enough or strong enough. He may fit in as a spot up shooter and backup backcourt player but is very weak defensively which is a major flaw for an NBA backup. Passing out of double teams is not a skill he will need to utilize in the NBA. Rodney Stuckey is a true one, Curry isn't. He not only wont be an NBA star, I dont see him even having a chance to be a starter. As for the numbers in college and how they translate I give you Adam Morrison.
