Stephen Curry

#30, Stephen Curry, a junior at Davidson has continued his steller play this year and has led his Wildcats to a 22-5 and 15-2 record in conference play. This prolific scorer is averaging 29.0 points, 5.8 assists, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.7 steals per game. If any team in college basketball rely's on one player to carry the load, it is definitely the Davidson Wildcats. Stephen Curry busted out on the scene his freshmen year when he averaged 21.5 points per game and carried his team deep into the NCAA Tournament. From his freshmen to junior year, all of his stats from points to steals have increased. He is a force in the college level and will soon be in the NBA. If anyone deserves Player of the Year honors in 2009, it is Stephen Curry.

Davidson as a team hit a bump in the road Wednesday night when they faced off against The Citadel, losing 64-46 with no Stephen Curry in the lineup, due to an ankle sprain that will keep him out for only a week to two weeks.  Although the injury is not serious, it will effect the play of the team, as witnessed Wednesday. "It's a sprained ankle; he's resilient, and we've got a great medical team," Davidson coach Bob McKillop told the newspaper. "I'll have to wait until we get back to Davidson before we get any kind of evaluation." Without Curry in the lineup Davidson has no one to score the basketball and set up other guys. Curry draws double and even triple teams at times, which allow for open shots for the rest of his team. Davidson is surely a lock for the NCAA Tournament, I'm only anxious to see how well they perform under the wings of Stephen Curry.
