NBA rumors: Ex-Warriors GM had Steph Curry No. 2 on 2009 draft board

We have all be witness to Steph Curry's greatness. We aware the Warriors got a gift when the greatest shooter in NBA history fell into their lap at No. 7 overall in the 2009 NBA Draft.

In a re-draft today, there's no question Curry would be the first one taken and the Los Angeles Clippers would be a completely different franchise. Blake Griffin, the actual No. 1 pick, was in no means a bust, but he didn't come close to achieving the level of greatness Curry did.

If anyone knows how lucky the Warriors got during the 2009 NBA Draft, it's then-general manager Larry Riley, who was on the Curry train before most.
