OAKLAND, Calif. Stephen Curry, the seventh overall pick in last month's NBA draft, has signed with the Golden State Warriors.
The team did not release terms of the contract Wednesday, but Curry, who is from Charlotte, can be paid up to $2.71million, which is 120 percent of the requirements of the NBA's rookie wage scale for the spot he was chosen.
Curry, 21, left Davidson after three seasons. He led the nation in scoring with 28.6 points per game as a junior, and also averaged 4.4 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.53 steals in 34 games. A 6-foot-3 guard, Curry will begin his professional career this week as a member of the Warriors summer league squad in Las Vegas.
