Retrospect December 21, 2009: Willie Warren Needs to Channel his inner Curry

Flashback
Stephen was the NCAA's Cinderella sweet heart at Davidson College. He had to do so much for their team especially after Richards departure. He led the NCAA in scoring for two straight years and literally carried his team. This year Willie Waren is in the same position as the SoCon pro. How so you ask. Willie Warren is now assuming the position that curry did for 2 and a half years and as he was last year as starting PG

Curry led his team with little help against top ranked opponents and hard to beat foes. Curry did this with a level head, never too high or low, and a common expression on his face , common only to him and few other super stars and competitors. This unchanging deminier makes him one the best to ever lace them up! How so take Willie Waren of the
Oklahoma Sooner. Warren is now in the same position as curry was this time last year. A point guard gone makes him fit for the job of starting PG. Many athletes say that they could average 28 ppg if they were on a team like Davidson . Warren is proof that just anyone can not. Frustration is starting to become a common expression for Warren as he attempts to take his team to the next level as Curry did for Davidson. Curry's shoulders were not as Warren big as Warren's but can carry a team at will with no pressure. The two of them both had to make the transition from 2 guard to PG however Stephen did the move with grace that Warren seems to lack at times. Even through his early struggles with the Warriors , Curry kept his fight and calm deminer. Curry stayed true to his nickname the great adjuster. Curry's will to win and faithful hopeful competitive spirit keeps him and his teams moving to the next level. Curry handled every situation gracefully and never was flustered . He motivated his team through his relentless spirit and never showed a sad face. The two are diametrically different in build, explosion, and speed. This should make Warren win the prolificity battle on paper and should be averaging over 28 a game. The thing that makes curry so great is that he never got flustered in precarious situations. He rose above what was needed and expected of him and proved his haters wrong. Maybe that is why he is so much better . He didn't rely on athleticism to put him over the edge as warren does at times but worked hard to improve more than just his dunks. Maybe Paul Pierce was right in his suggestion to raise the rim three inches. It's just his mindset and morality to the game. Curry can go 0 for 6 and still lead the league in scoring. He never hangs his hand on a missed 3 but keeps trying and pushing. There is a certain peace about him that is very centered. He has a (moral value) core that is very strong. That he knows that everything will work out fine in the end. Calm. Chill. Stephen is proof that a positive attitude can change so much. Even an entire season, even an entire program.
So how could a more explosive Willie Warren be flustered against Texas El Paso?


"The Thing That Makes A Great Player Great"
John Wall has the same center ease. That is the true competitive edge, focus in hard times hope in hard times through raising the level of play
