In the 2008-2009 season, the Golden State Warriors, after the departure of the original core Baron Davis, fell into the sink again, and only won a mere 29 games that season, Stephen Jackson averaged 20.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, but shot only 41.4%, Jamal Crawford occupied the team's starting point guard position, He averaged 19.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, but the shooting rate was also not high at 40.6%, and the newly signed Corey Margeti was squeezed to the bench by Jackson and Crawford, but he also played well, averaging 19.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, shooting 45.1%, and the fan-favorite Monta Ellis only played 25 games this season due to injury, Kelana Azubuke started 51 games all season averaging 14.4 points and 5.0 rebounds per game, Biedrins has become accustomed to contributing double-doubles every night, and Anthony Morrow has become a killer off the bench, averaging 10.1 points per game and shooting 46.7% from three-point range.

The 2009 NBA Draft featured many potential rising stars from all over the world, including Blake Griffin, who was full of college honors and excellent physical fitness, Hasim Thabit, an interior defensive titan with unlimited potential, James Harden, an all-around king of the NCAA, Ricky Rubio, a Spanish golden boy, Tyrick Evans, the 2009 American League Championship Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Jonny Flynn, the maker of NCAA crazy six-overtime, and Jordan Hill, a talented interior beast. Brandon Jennings, who returned from the transformation of Europe, NCAA record finisher Tyler Hansbrough, etc., it seems that every player in this is a star player that the team can rely on in the future, the Warriors held the No. 7 pick, the general manager Riley and the head coach Nelson Sr. both went to the scene of the NBA draft, from the configuration of the Warriors at that time, they were not short of people in the guard line and forward positions, compared to them they need a big man who is both flexible and strong, of course, Blake Griffin is the best candidate for the position, but he's almost already a member of the Los Angeles Clippers with the No. 1 pick, and in addition to Griffin, Jordan Hill from the University of Arizona and Tyler Hansbrough from North Carolina have the ability.

The old Nelson prefers Tyler Hansbrough, although he played the fourth or fifth position in the NCAA, but he is known as an NBA Jordan-style figure in the NCAA, many records in the NCAA have been broken by him one by one, the ability is good and from the basketball school North Carolina, the tactical literacy will naturally not be the same as other players, but the general manager of the Warriors at the time was crazy about a person, for this reason, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of words to persuade the old Nelson who had made up his mind.

That person is Stephen Curry.

Curry is thin and small, he was once rejected by Duke University because of his poor physical condition, and he directly denied Curry at the beginning of the famous old K coach in the United States, he thinks Curry's body is too thin, not to mention the NBA, even the intensity of the NCAA can't adapt, the authority of the old K in the national basketball world is not to mention, the person who was denied by him, other teams also lost interest in Curry, Curry later had to switch to Davidson College, Davidson College is also a famous university in the United States in terms of academics, but this school is not good at sports, Not only that, Davidson College has a small number of students, with less than 2,000 students all year round, compared to about 6,000-8,000 students at Duke University, which is excluded from Curry and the door, and North Carolina State University, another basketball mecca, has more than 35,000 resident students!

Speaking of which, Stephen Curry is also a talented player, he is the scoring champion of Davidson University, He averaged 28.6 points per game in his junior season to lead the United States, and also set an NCAA single-season three-point shooting record, leading the little-known Davidson University all the way to the NCAA No. 2 seed Georgetown University, No. 7 seed Gonzaga University, No. 3 seed University of Wisconsin, to the NCAA quarterfinals, and was finally defeated by the champion of the year, the University of Kansas by two points, which looks very strong, but, note, I said earlier that Davidson College is a small sports college, look at how Jeremy Lin, who graduated from Harvard, was not welcomed in the early days of the NBA, you know how much water those team general managers will think Curry's report card has been addedAnd there was no shortage of point guards in that year's draft, compared to other point guards, Stephen Curry still has one of the biggest flaws - although he has good coordination and explosiveness, but his body is too thin, if he is against a strong point guard like Baron Davis, he will be blown up to nothing, think about the Warriors' Black Eight Mavericks, how did Davis beat Harris?

But compared with other point guards, Stephen Curry also has an absolute advantage, first of all, good genes, Stephen Curry's father is the NBA's respected old shooter Dale Curry, the old Curry once played in the NBA from 1986 to 2002, and went to the Utah Jazz, Cleveland Cavaliers, Charlotte Hornets, Milwaukee Bucks and Toronto Raptors, and played mostly as a sixth man in his career. averaged 11.7 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, shot 40.2% from three-point range, and won the 1993-1994 Sixth Man of the Year trophy.

In addition to the Warriors, there are several teams that also have a good impression of Curry, first of all, the Memphis Grizzlies who have the list of signs, Williams, who was the general manager of the Grizzlies at the time, is also very optimistic about Curry, but unfortunately Curry and his agent Austin have expressed their dislike of not wanting Curry to play in small cities, and refused the trial of Memphis. Instead, he selected potential interior lineman Hasim Tabit with the intention of building a twin tower plan. The Thunder, who had a prospect show, also sent Curry an invitation to try out, but Curry still rejected Oklahoma's kindness, because they already had a potential No. 1 position - Russell Westbrook, and the Thunder needed a full-fledged sixth man with offensive and defensive ability, Curry thought they would definitely choose James Harden, and it was.

The Sacramento Kings are short of guards, and their tryout invited Curry to participate, the Kings were originally more optimistic about Evans, who has strong breakthrough ability, and the whole team lacks such a person, in the training camp, Evans exploded Curry useless, and the Kings finally chose Evans without hesitation, and the rest is the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves have the fifth and sixth picks, and the team has Al Jefferson and Kevin Love two hopefuls, but there is no good point guard who can pass, So the fifth pick Timberwolves chose to shine in the 2008 Olympic Games, the Spanish point guard Ricky Rubio who was still good-looking, the player selected by the sixth pick made the Timberwolves regret for life, Jonny Fray, a short point guard who only played three seasons in the NBA was won by the Timberwolves with the sixth pick, in fact, the Timberwolves still had a reason to choose Fray, although Fray is not tall, but he wins in strength, he does not suffer a loss, he has a positive attitude to play, and the abilities of the point guard are also very mature, is a solid point guard, but later because of a hip injury, of course, why the Timberwolves selected Friedrich was blamed by many Timberwolves fans, which has a lot to do with the seventh pick is Stephen Curry.

Compared with the Warriors' attitude towards Curry, Curry and agent Austin at that time, including Curry's father Dale Curry, did not want Curry Jr. to go to Golden State, they took the New York Knicks as their first choice, first of all, the Knicks are big cities, and the high appearance rate is easier to become a star than other cities to get a large endorsement contract, from the team itself, the Knicks lack a point guard, last season's Chris Duhon, Nate Robinson, Wilson Chandler, Tony Douglas are not a qualified starting No. 1 position, And their head coach Mike D'Antoni is also a well-known head coach in the league who can use point guards and can train point guards, so Stephen Curry directly rejected the Warriors' trial invitation, and the intention is already obvious.

But one of the biggest problems here is that the Warriors have the seventh pick, and the Knicks have the eighth pick, in order to avoid the Warriors from selecting Curry, Austin negotiated with Walsh, the then president of the Knicks, hoping that the Knicks could trade the draft picks upwards, but Walsh did not do that, finally, the seventh pick in the draft was announced, and the person who finally packed his bags and went to Golden State was Stephen Curry, and then the Knicks, who had the eighth pick, chose Jordan Hill.

The 2009-2010 season just started in just 9 games, the team completed a big deal with the Charlotte Bobcats, the Warriors sent Stephen Jackson to the Bobcats to get a three-point shooter, Vladimir Radmanovich, one of the deals is because Jackson and the Warriors management have completely torn their faces, Jackson is dissatisfied with the team always failing, the team is dissatisfied with what Jackson does off the court, the two sides have been incompatible, second, Jackson was traded to make way for Stephen Curry, and Radmanovic is no longer the hero he used to be when he arrived with the Warriors, averaging just 6.6 points per game and shooting just 26.7 percent from three-point range. After a poor start to the season, Stephen Curry began to gradually recover, and played dominantly in the final few games of the season, and finally he averaged 17.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 46.2% shooting, 46.2% shooting percentage, and 43.7% three-point shooting percentage, second in the Rookie Best Rookie rating, second only to Tyrek Evans, who is "a rookie is the peak".

Corey Margeti has played 70 games this season, including 49 starts, averaging 19.8 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, Anthony Morrow is averaging 13.0 points per game, and his 45.6% three-point shooting rate is still leading the team, and Golden State darling Monta Ellis has repaid those fans who like him with a more energetic performance, averaging 25.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.2 steals per game, and the shooting percentage has reached a relatively normal 44.9% Ellis' Golden State backcourt duo with Curry was the hope of the Warriors' resurgence, and in the end, the rebuilding team finished in the bottom of the West with 26 wins this season.
