“Far below NBA standard”: Stephen Curry proved his pre-draft report wrong in every possible way

The Golden State Warriors have unveiled the pre-draft scouting report about Stephen Curry and made him read it aloud. A video shared on the team’s social media channel shows the star guard reading all the shortcomings listed in the report, which cast doubts on him and his ability to be someone a team could rely on.

The report comes weeks after the Golden State Warriors were ousted from the playoffs just before an injured Curry could return to the court and potentially save the team from elimination.

Stephen Curry reacts to his pre-draft report

In the video shared on Golden State Warriors’ X page, Stephen Curry reads aloud the pre-draft scouting report about him: “Far below NBA standard in regard to explosiveness and athleticism, a 6'2 is extremely small for an NBA shooting guard position and will likely keep him from being much of a defender at the next level.

Although he's playing point guard, he's not a natural point guard that an NBA team can rely on to run a team, struggles defensively getting around screens, can overshoot and rush into shots from time to time, needs to add some muscle to his upper body, but appears as though he'll always be standing.

A for effort.”After reading it aloud, Curry adds, “I appreciate all the motivation and inspiration to do everything this paper said I couldn't do.”

Fans react to video shared by Golden State Warriors

Reacting to the video, an X user wrote, “But they were actually right, and as soon as he worked on all these things the success came. The scouts can't see the future, they can only tell the present and at best make projections. So win win.”Another commented, “That is why he is the GOAT.” One more wrote, “Wow who the heck wrote that?” A fan reacted, “Love you Curry.” Many others called him GOAT in the comments section.
