Stephen Curry has reserved huge compliments for Oklahoma City Thunder rookie Chet Holmgren. The latter, who was drafted No. 2 by Thunder, had played in Curry’s Under Armour Camp. The Warriors’ point guard called him “super talented” who is “blessed with physical abilities”. “He had that competitive streak and that work ethic,” says Curry.

He continues, “I have seen a lot of talent come through that All American Camp that I have with Under Armour Curry Brand. There’s pretty good representation in the league now. Some of those kids have cone through.”

Curry cited his teammate James Wiseman as an example who was there a year before Chet. “Talent is on the rise on the league. Chet being one of them. I will be excited to see those guys come into their own and figure how to be successful in the league,” he added.

His advice to the young ones was to keep working after they made it. According to him, they have to grind so that they can last and become great. Curry was excited to see those experiences again, but not at their expense, obviously. But he warned the 7ft rookie that he will score a floater despite his eight-foot wingspan.

This warning does come hollow seeing what Chet did to Curry a few years ago.
