After Steve Kerr, it’s Stephen Curry’s turn to praise the merits of Donte DiVincenzo, recruited this summer by the Knicks. The Warriors would have liked to keep him, but they couldn’t match New York’s offer: about $50 million over four years. A nice tumble for the former back of the Bucks, Kings and Warriors.
“He only thinks about basketball and winning. He brings great energy to the locker room.” explained the All-Star point guard at SNY. “I used to call him the veteran even though he’s still young because he has that type of mentality. He is much more mature than his age. »
“He is also aware that you can create value in a team, whatever role you are asked to play”
For Stephen Curry, his former teammate “fills in a lot of gaps in a team”. “He’s good on both sides of the pitch, and he’s a much better creator than you think” he continues. “He is not selfish, and although I know he wants to start, he also knows that you can create value in a team, whatever role you are asked to play. to have “.
If the Warriors had managed to recruit him, it was because Donte DiVincenzo was coming out of an injury, and Stephen Curry knew that it would be difficult to keep him.
“I know he was coming off an injury and trying to find a situation that would help him establish his place in the NBA and what he could bring to winning teams. He’s proven it brilliantly with us all year and the Knicks have recovered quite well. I’m also happy that he got his fair share of the new collective agreement. So that was a good thing. »
