This just in: Seth Curry to Duke

NCAA BASKETBALL: FEB 28 Liberty at Radford
Seth Curry, who led all freshman in the NCAA in scoring this season with 20.2 ppg, has decided to spend the next three years getting torched by ACC guards.

Curry announced last week that he would transfer from Liberty to attend an ACC school in his home state of North Carolina.

Curry reached his goal by accepting a scholarship offer to play for the Duke Blue Devils.

Because of transfer rules, Curry will sit out next season and come back for the 2010-11 season as a third-year sophomore.

Yes, Curry averaged 20.2 ppg, but that was playing at Liberty. He stands at 6-3 and weighs 180 pounds, and by looking at his brother Stephen, it doesn't look like he's going to get much bigger.

He will have a very difficult time going up against bigger, stronger, more athletic guards in the ACC.

Curry probably could have thrived at a top mid-major school, such as Gonzaga or Xavier, but playing at a top program like Duke doesn't seem conducive to Curry's skill set.

But, if there is any ACC team that Curry could put up decent numbers for, it is the Duke Blue Devils. Coach K will have Curry running around plenty of screens, looking for the open three ala J.J. Redick.

Who knows, maybe Curry will be successful as a Blue Devil.

I just wouldn't put my money on it.
