Since Kellan Grady played at Davidson it probably should be no surprise that NBA star Steph Curry, a former Davidson player, has been Grady’s role model and favorite player because of the way he played in the NCAA Tournament.

“I had the privilege to actually work out with Steph a couple of times when I was at his camp a few summers ago. Beyond his amazing abilities on the court, seeing the way he is dedicated to the game and how he works is something that has inspired me to work with detail and with precision when I’m trying to work on my game,” Grady said after announcing he was transferring to UK for his final season.

“His shooting ability, his confidence is something I think that is arguably the best in the NBA. His ability to score at all three levels and to make floaters, to make shots in the midrange, his in-between game, his court vision. I think we all know I can keep going.”

Curry has helped the Golden State Warriors when NBA championships and is an annual All-Star. That’s why Grady, who scored over 2,000 points at Davidson, pays attention to more than just Curry’s scoring. He calls them the “little things” that separate Curry from other players.

“How he comes off screens, how he moves without the ball. Those are things that I did a lot at Davidson that I think I was able to improve on by watching film and studying guys like Steph,” Grady said. ‘It’s been awesome watching his success at the NBA.”
