DAVIDSON, N.C. -- On the heels of being selected preseason Southern Conference Player of the Year by the 11 league head coaches, sophomore Stephen Curry of the Davidson College men's basketball team has been named to the 2007-08 CollegeInsider.com preseason All-America squad as announced Wednesday afternoon.
Already nominated for the coveted John R. Wooden Award and named to the Naismith Trophy Watch List, the son of former NBA sharpshooter Dell Curry, Stephen (pronounced STEFF-in) concluded his debut season in a Wildcat uniform with 730 points (21.5 ppg.) to lead the Southern Conference and an NCAA freshman single-season record 122 three-pointers.
A year ago, Curry ranked among national leaders in three statistical categories (scoring, three-pointers made and threes per game) and reached 20 points in 19 of the 33 games in which he scored in double figures. The three-time SoCon Player of the Week broke five Davidson school records during his debut campaign, including the single-season scoring record for points by a freshman. Just the third Wildcat ever to receive SoCon Freshman of the Year honors, Curry connected on 40.8 percent (122-299) of his attempts from long range, while pacing the league in free throw percentage with a clip of 85.5 percent (124-145). To go along with his remarkable shooting totals, he averaged 4.6 boards per game from his guard position.
In addition to earning SoCon first-team honors and league tournament MVP, Curry was selected for the SI.com All-Mid-Major Honorable Mention, as well as to the NABC District 5 Second Team. The Charlotte native was also tabbed by Collegehoops.net as its Mid-Major Freshman of the Year, and to the All-Freshmen Second Team, Mid-Major All-Freshmen, and Mid-Major All-American units. CollegeInsider.com selected Curry as its Mid-Major Freshman of the Year, while including him on its Freshmen All-America Team and Mid-Major All-America Team. He was also voted to the SN/Rivals.com All-Freshmen Team in addition to earning SoCon Player of the Month honors three times.
Over Davidson's final 14 contests, 13 of which were victories, Curry averaged 25.3 points while shooting an impressive 50.4 percent (115-228) from the floor and drilled 60-of-138 (43.4 percent) tries from the outside for an average of 4.3 per game.
During the summer, the 6-3 shooting guard was a member of the 2007 Silver Medal U-19 USA FIBA World Championship squad. Despite playing just 18 minutes per contest, Curry recorded four double-digit scoring performances including a game-high 19 in Team USA's victory over eventual champion Serbia in Pool Play.
He finished the summer with an average of 9.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per contest, while connecting on 45 percent of his attempts from the floor.
Returning all five starters and 11 letterwinners from a team that won a school-record 29 games last season and advanced to their second-straight NCAA Tournament, Bob McKillop and his Wildcats will open their 2007-08 slate with an exhibition contest against Lenoir-Rhyne Wednesday at Belk Arena. Davidson's only scheduled preseason affair will tip at 7 p.m., two days before battling Emory in its regular season / home opener Friday, Nov. 9 at 8 p.m.
