2009 NBA Draft
“With the First Overall Pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Clippers select...Steph Curry, Point Guard from Davidson University.”
At the time, the Clippers reached to pick Curry with the first overall pick surprised everyone. Many draft reports had not even as the best Guard in the draft, let alone player.
“Isn’t this a shock? The Clippers seem to have made a reach on Curry. Curry could be the best shooter in the draft, but he has many question marks surrounding him. He played at a small college, he’s a little short for NBA standards, and he isn’t that explosive to the basket. So we’ll see how that plays out for them and now the Memphis Grizzlies might luck out on getting Blake Griffin.”
“With the Second Overall Pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, the Memphis Grizzlies select...Blake Griffin, Power Forward from University of Oklahoma.”
“With the Fourth Overall Pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, the Sacramento Kings select...Hasheem Thabeet, Center from Tanzania.”
“With the Fifth Overall Pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves select...Tyreke Evans, Shooting Guard from Memphis University.”
“With the Sixth Overall Pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, the Minnesota Timberwolves select...Ricky Rubio, Point Guard from Spain.”
“With the Seventh Overall Pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, the Golden State Warriors select...DeMar DeRozan, Shooting Guard from USC.”
“With the Eighth Overall Pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, the New York Knicks select...Jonny Flynn, Point Guard from Syracuse University.”
“With the Ninth Overall Pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, the Toronto Raptors select...Brandon Jennings, Point Guard from Italy.”

Notes:
Yeah, so I’m back. Things happened in my life so I had to be away for a bit. In the meantime, Kawhi Leonard got me heavily back into the NBA with that insane run he did, so I decided as a return to do an NBA timeline. Just imagine today’s Curry in a market like Los Angeles, so as always expect the madness that follows.
