Seth Curry cut by Warriors

[subzero02]

?? He scored 17.5 ppg on almost 44% 3-point shooting in over 32 mpg. How much more do you realistically think he would've scored on that team, even if he had been 100% healthy?? (assuming that's what was implied by your statement)

Didn't realize he was waived due to injury and I have not followed his career at all

C'mon, Wheat! You're better than this. Pay attention! (Sheesh.)

Poker, fishing, hiding from what is going on at the Dump on the Hump - Who has time?

If Ryan doesn't make it with the Lakers, I think he would have a much better experience in Europe than in the D-League. Same goes for Seth. European basketball isn't too exciting, at least for me, but it would be a great learning experience on and off the court for both of them.

[brevity]

There was an entire thread on it...

Yeah, but with an uninformative name: "Dukies no longer in the NBA". Jason over-moderated with that decision, especially since (1) Maggette deserves his own thread, and (2) the thread morphed into discussing the very active Luol Deng.

Other ACC notables cut:

Lorenzo Brown
Josh Powell
CJ Leslie
Elliot Williams
Kenny Kadji

Elliot Williams was only at Duke for one season because of personal reasons, and his bad luck has continued now that his injuries have apparently derailed his NBA career. He has made $4 million at the age of 24, but he was the 22nd pick in 2010 (Portland, of course) and his career may be over after playing only 24 games. Real shame.

Uhhh...Seth graduated from Duke. I'm sure wealthy parents or not, he would be just fine anyway. He is not a one and doner that chased false dreams only to fall on his face.

You're right, and I meant to go back and add some of what you said. My bad, but the family $, let alone the shooter DNA, don't hurt!

Coach K said Seth might have led the nation in scoring if he'd been completely healthy. Too bad we'll never know.

I think we should just assume that he would have.

In your first year, you might as well try to make it in the D League route since impressing there is the quickest path to a short term NBA deal. Most of the teams overseas have completed their rosters for the season with only a few slots open for training camp cuts.

Seth could easily make a career for himself in Europe where he could fill the combo guard role nicely. Ryan seems like the type who could be a great player in Europe.

Friendly advice: If you don't know what you're typing about, perhaps you shouldn't flap your fingers. That might cut it at the weak blue sites, but not this one.

I have seen some rumors floating around from Europe that Cedevita Zagreb, the team that Nolan Smith plays for, has been trying to sign Seth, but that he is not interested.

Apparently one of the Spanish teams chasing him before NBA training camp was Gran Canaria, where they were looking for someone who could replace Jon Scheyer.

Well, sure, but I kind of don't understand this prevalent (it's not just you) attitude that everyone who went to Duke is going to skate into "just fine." The world is a tough place. Just graduating from a Duke isn't enough to make it to "just fine." It takes timing, luck, hard work, connections, and probably something else I'm forgetting.

While yes your statements are true he still has a better start than roughly 85% of american graduates just by going to Duke as opposed to a community college.

Throaty, I think you are saying, "Every day is an audition," and you gotta bring it every day if you want to come back tomorrow. Seth's advantage is that he will get a bunch of auditions and not just in basketball. And I expect he will do extremely well.
