MID-MAJOR FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR |
| |
 A
first-team All Conference Selection and the Southern
Conference Freshman of the Year, Stephen Curry is also
the collegeinsider.com Mid-Major Freshman of the Year.
“You could have made a strong case for Stephen Curry
being named the Player of the Year in the Southern
Conference,” says collegeinsider.com and Basketball
Times mid-major columnist Angela Lento. “His bio may
say freshman, but he plays with the poise and presence
of a senior.”
A native of Charlotte, N.C., Curry led the SoCon in
scoring at 20.7 points per game, which was second
nationally, among first-year players, behind Kevin
Durant of Texas.
The 6-1 shooting guard connected on 104 three-pointers
during the regular season, tied for third most by a
freshman ever at the Division I level and just six shy
of breaking the record set by Keydren Clark of St.
Peter's in 2003. Curry hit 41.1 percent of his
attempts from long range while pacing the league in
free throw percentage with a clip of 84.9 percent
(101-of-119).
Along with ranking among national leaders in three
statistical categories (scoring, three-pointers made
and threes per game), Curry reached 20 points in 15 of
the 29 games in which he scored in double figures.
The three-time SoCon Player of the Week and November's
Player of the Month broke five Davidson school records
during his debut campaign including the single-season
scoring record for points by a freshman. |
