Big man Eddy Curry returns to the Killer 3s roster for his second BIG3 season.
The seven-footer was selected out of the 2019 draft pool as an undrafted free agent. He went on to appear in three games, but was productive when he was on the floor, averaging 4.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. Curry shined in a Week 5 victory over Ball Hogs, scoring 10 points and pulling down three rebounds.
Curry, who was the fourth overall pick in the 2001 NBA draft, played 11 seasons in the league for the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks.
With the Knicks, Curry put up impressive numbers during the 2006-07 campaign, averaging 19.5 points and 7.0 rebounds per game compared to his career averages of 12.9 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.
Curry was a star on the Thornwood High School basketball team in South Holland, Illinois, which was the last team he played for before jumping to the NBA. He was named to the 1998, 1999 and 2000 State Farm Holiday Classic all-tournament teams, along with the 2001 Illinois Mr. Basketball title and the fan-selected All-Quarter Century Team. In 2001, he and four other high school basketball stars were the subject of “Preps: Chicago Hoops,” a docuseries about making the jump from high school to collegiate or professional basketball.
