Thursday night’s NBA Finals opener brought Stephen Curry’s college coach across the country, to watch the most famous alum in Davidson basketball history.
Bob McKillop, the head coach at Davidson (in North Carolina) for 28 years now, sees more than all those three-pointers raining from the sky.
“I look at the subleties,” McKillop said. “I believe Steph led the NBA in screens set by a guard. He’s close to the top in deflections (tied for 11th) and recovery of loose balls (tied for second). Those are extraordinary stats for a guy recognized as one of the greatest three-point shooters in history.
