What Were Stephen Curry’s NCAA Stats at Davidson? Breaking Down His Impactful Run

The meteoric rise of Stephen Curry to superstardom has been impeccable. With four championships under his belt, the Golden State Warriors guard is an established name in the NBA. But many people had doubts about his capabilities and physical attributes when he first joined the league.

Surprisingly, those who had been following his game since his college days never doubted him. They were rather waiting for him to become an icon. This begs a question.

How good was Stephen Curry in his college days?

Stephen joined the Southern Conference’s Davidson College in 2006 reportedly under the influence of coach Bob McKillop. In his first season, he recorded 731 points in total in 34 games, becoming the leading scorer of the conference. He was also the conference leader in free throw percentage, field goals, and 3-point field goal.

In the following season, he came into a league of his own as he scored 931 points in 36 games and became the top scorer in NCAA that season. By then, he was recording a ridiculous field goal percentage of 0.483. His 3-point attempts per game and percentage both went up from 8.8 to 10.3 and 0.408 to 0.439 respectively.

His last season of college basketball in the 2008/09 season saw him becoming a better offensive provider. He provided the highest number of assists in the conference with 189 and his assists per game nearly doubled. The then 21-year-old then left for the NBA leaving a memorable college career behind.

The rise of the top

The college days of Splash Brother showed glimpses of what he was capable of. His NCAA record for single-season most 3-point field goals made with 162 threes is still unbroken. That was why the Warriors picked him as the seventh overall pick in the NBA in 2009.

Since joining the Dub Nation, he had his fair share of struggles. After a long-standing battle with injuries, he eventually led his team to their most coveted championship title in 2015. What followed became a part of NBA history.

In a war against evolution, Stephen Curry’s NCAA numbers serve as a reminder of how good he truly is. A generational talent, motivating generations to come.
