JamesOn can play in the NBA
JamesOn Curry apparently is going to stay in the NBA draft, and while I think it’s the wrong decision, that doesn’t mean Curry can’t make it in the pros.
Think Jannero Pargo.
The backup guard for the Hornets a year ago is opting out of the back end of a two-year contract, thinking his marketability is decent after a solid year in Oklahoma City. Pargo averaged 9.2 points and 2.5 assists a game for the Hornets as a backup to Chris Paul and Devin Brown.
Curry easily could be as good as Pargo. Heck, what am I talking about? Just think about Brown. Is Devin Brown that much better a player than JamesOn Curry? I don’t see it.
Curry might be an inch or so shorter, but he’s just as athletic and seems to be just as good a shooter, plus he spent two years playing for Eddie Sutton, so you figure he knows a little about defense. If Devin Brown can start for a decent NBA team, why wouldn’t Curry make it in the league?
Pargo was a solid player for the Hornets, able to play the point and shooting guard. Curry could, too. His point-guard skills were apparent a year ago, when he had to relieve Byron Eaton on a regular basis.
JamesOn Curry can play in the NBA. And he knows it. Which is why he wants to get started as soon as possible.
