Golden State Warriors’ general manager Bob Myers was still an agent when then GM Larry Riley selected Steph Curry with the seventh pick in the 2009 NBA Draft.
Myers went on to become Riley’s assistance prior to the 2011-2012 season, and didn’t quite realize what the team had with Curry manning the point guard position.
It was a down-year for Steph. He only appeared in 26 games during the lockout shortened season, averaging a career-low 14.7 points per game. Myers would take over the GM job, and added some key pieces to help the tone for the Warriors to become a juggernaut.
