He's not projected to get drafted/play in the NBA.

He's nowhere near as good as his brother. He doesn't have the handle or the passing ability that Steph has. Basically a less hyped version of Jimmer.

Here is a link to what I consider the best site for evaluating college basketball players.

A good rule to follow when looking at college players is to watch them play at least 3 or 4 times. That way you can watch enough to know if they simply had a really good (or bad) game and better see all their strengths and weaknesses. It also helps to look as what position a player plays and how that would translate to the next level. A player like Curry is a 6'2 SG who doesn't look like he can move over to PG. He also doesn't have the quickness of his brother and isn't overly athletic (which would make it hard for him to guard SGs). There are a lot of college players who have fit this mold in the past who have been very successful in college but couldn't make it at the next level.

He won't be able to play in the NBA. He's undersized, he's unathletic, doesn't have PG skills. Pretty much all he can do is shoot, and he's not a good enough shooter to compensate for his other weaknesses. His absolute best case scenario is as a Daequan Cook type, but I doubt he'll even reach that.
There's far better players to target with our 2nd rounder.

Aside from being good shooters, the two really have nothing in common.

thats all they are, good shooters.. steph plays 0 defense but neither does the whole nba... if you can score you can play, except for jimmer lol

No. Steph Curry is also capable of creating off the dribble and facilitating the Warrior's offense as a lead guard. He's also made (some) strides in his defensive play since Lacob gave Keith Smart the boot.

The bottom line is that he isn't going to be drafted. He might not even make it to the NBA.

every brother or son of an ex nba player gets drafted, except for jordans son... look at all the brothers that are in the nba today...

Steph Curry came into the league with the defensive ability of Steve Nash. Since his rookie year Curry has evolved into perhaps an average defender. Good offensive players light up average defenders in every game everywhere all the time. While Steph will probably never sniff any all defensive team votes, saying that he doesnt play any defense is quite a stretch.

Lol... christ.
Ignoring the softball for now, I would also like to point out that Percy Miller, Reggie Miller's brother, decided to become an accountant for Ernst & Young instead of heading to the NBA.*

Just a good shooter? I could sit here and argue with you and accuse you of obviously not watching much of GS, but video is tougher to argue against.
Steph can pick apart defenses, creating for himself just about whenever he wants or for others. For all the Jimmer to Nash comparisons around here, Steph is most likely the closest.
Just a shooter implies Novak or Korver types. And when you say if you can score you can play, that's not true either. A true scorer can create for himself. Doesn't need to be a good shooter. Reke's rookie year is an example. Some shooters can create for themselves, making them more than just a shooter. Jamal Crawford is a shooter and pure scorer who can create. Jimmer is a pure shooter who can't create. A guy like Novak relies on others. JR Smith relies on no one.
You know who could just score and was supposed to do well in the NBA? Douby. Adam Morrison. Jimmer. Casey Jacobsen. Dejuan Wagner.
