JamesOn Curry is Bulls Newest Arrival

The Chicago Bulls have officially announced the signing of the 2007 second-round draft pick JamesOn Curry. Curry, 21, was a junior at Oklahoma State and played shooting guard and point guard for the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Curry, who’s 6’3” and 190 lbs, was the 51st pick overall. He averaged 17.3 points and shot 41 percent from the 3-point range last season and was the Cowboys’ second-leading scorer for the past two seasons. He finished 13th in Oklahoma State’s history in scoring, ninth in assists, and third in the 3-point range. It’s an understatement to say that Curry was a standout player in college and easy to see why the Bulls picked him in the second-round.

Curry is a native of Pleasant Grove, North Carolina and broke the North Carolina high school record for most points scored in four years while playing at Eastern Alamance High School in Mebane, North Carolina. He scored a total of 3,307 points throughout his four years as a high school player. Curry wanted to play college ball in his home state and was originally signed with the North Carolina Tar Heels but a guilty plea to six felony drug counts led to the fall-through of his scholarship. Luckily, Oklahoma State’s Eddie Sutton decided to give him a chance – he definitely proved himself there and will now be wearing number 20 for Chicago this season.
