Stephen Curry Workouts

Stephen Curry Workouts

Stephen Curry is one of the great shooters in the NBA. In college he almost took his team to the Final Four with his shooting. This is an article written about Curry in the SFGate.com By Scott Ostler    

Stephen Curry is the Phantom of the Opera. He even brings his own music. Late at night, 10 or 11 o'clock on non-game nights, Curry lets himself into the Warriors' practice gym in downtown Oakland, and shoots. Typically, he'll go an hour and a half, long enough to reach a goal, like sinking 500 shots.

Academy Gets Started

Streaks Academy started on Monday. We are off to a good start with about 50 players in the Academy. Players can still enroll. Academy will be on Mondays and Wednesdays for the next three weeks, with grade 1 thru 6 going from 5:30-6:45pm, and 7-8th graders going from 6:45-8:00pm.   The first night of Academy, the grade school players worked on mainly on shooting form. 

They used the shooting plates to focus on one handed shots, used the Beilein balls which help them get proper rotation, and worked to get their feet in the right spots.   The first night of Academy, the 7th and 8th graders did our dribble routine, worked on developing their left foot as pivot foot, getting good first step on their drives, making backdoor cuts, and running a pick and roll.   

Players can still enroll in the Academy.

James Michael McAdoo’s return boosts North Carolina’s hopes of contending next season

James Michael McAdoo’s return boosts North Carolina’s hopes of contending next season

At the end of a disappointing sophomore season in which he did not emerge as one of the nation's top players the way many expected, North Carolina's James Michael McAdoo had a difficult decision to make. 

Leave school now and hope his upside is enough to entice an NBA team to select him in the first round?Or stay another year and hope to play his way back into the lottery in the 2013-14 season? That McAdoo chose the latter option is great news for a North Carolina program hoping to return to the nation's elite next season. 

At worst, he solidifies his team's frontcourt and makes the Tar Heels a threat to Duke in the ACC. At best, he develops into one of the nation's premier players and elevates North Carolina into the national title picture. "I am ecstatic about having the opportunity to coach James Michael for another season," North Carolina coach Roy Williams said in a statement. 

"He's an incredible young man who did some really nice things this year. He's going to be an even better player in the future. Coaching young people like James Michael is what makes me enjoy coaching so much." Though McAdoo averaged a respectable 14.4 points and 7.3 rebounds as a sophomore, there were glaring holes in his games where he can improve. 

He has an impressive physique and athleticism but he is neither a true post-up threat nor a consistent mid-range shooter, which leaves NBA teams unsure if he's well-suited to play either forward position at that level.

Luke Hancock, a hero in the national championship game for Louisville

Luke Hancock, a hero in the national championship 

Former Patriot Luke Hancock has been having one hell of a week. Last night be became one of the most 

memorable 6th men in national championship history. Despite how you may feel about his exit from George    Mason it's hard not to proud of the kid, especially when you read stories like this. Hancock earned Final Four MVP honors after going on "a shooting spree for the ages" last night scoring 14 straight points at the end of the first half. He was also the first reserve player ever to win the award, that's pretty impressive.

Johnny Williams is a different case. A lot was expected of him returning after a shoulder injury that sidelined him all of 2011-2012. He was supposed to provide Mason with inside scoring with the departure of seniors Ryan Pearson and Mike Morrison. Early in the year he had his moments but was very inconsistent and had trouble staying out of foul trouble. 

Vaughns started all games during Paul Hewitt's first season at Mason but was limited to around 15 minutes per game and two DNPs this season off the bench. It was obvious early on Hewitt favored freshman Patrick Holloway over him despite his lack of experience.
