2015 NBA Draft: Pat Connaughton, the Next Matthew Dellavedova

If you have watched the last two games of the NBA Finals, you have seen the transformation of Matthew Dellavedova into a defensive wizard.Literally, Dellavedova, an undrafted player out of St. Mary’s, has stymied the best pure shooter possibly in NBA history for two straight games in the NBA Finals.

In Game 2, when guarded by Dellavedova, Curry scored 0 points on 0-8 shooting and committed two turnovers. In fact, Dellavedova has now held Steph Curry, Jeff Teague, and Derrick Rose to their worst shooting performances of the season in the Playoffs.
