“My goal since I can remember has always been to play in the NBA, and that goal has now become a viable opportunity for me,” the 21-year-old Curry said. “After weighing my options, I came to the conclusion that it is in my best interest to take hold of that opportunity now.”
In the 2008-09 season, Curry led the nation in scoring average (28.6). He carried Davidson to the Elite Eight in the 07-08 season for the first time since 1969.
North Carolina's Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington also declared for the draft Thursday.
Reactions to Curry's decision as well as his potential as a pro were mixed.
JasonEncite Stephen Curry joins the NBA draft. He's set to go top 10. D'Antoni likes him which may mean Curry to Lebron alley oops. I can dream.
hpanic7342 Stephen Curry is in the draft. I see a third guard off the bench, nothing more, nothing less.
