Yeah, I don't buy this at all. Was he a little lazy in the weight room and that stuff? Maybe. How much of that had to do with him not being a huge fan of the coach and how he was being used? How much of that had to do with him knowing he was leaving? The kid just made the U19 National Team. To say he's one of the 12 best players under the age of 19 and that he won't play much at Duke (who, remember, is big time short on guards right now) is pretty crazy. While half the ACC is playing in crap summer leagues or just working out in their own gym, Curry is flying halfway around the world to play against the best players under the age of 19.
Look at the list of people who tried out - it's a major stretch to say he is one of the 12 best players under the age of 19...
Kemba Walker (Connecticut / New York, N.Y), Al-Farouq Aminu (Wake Forest / Norcross, Ga.), Dominic Cheek (Villanova / Jersey City, N.J.), Drew Gordon (UCLA / San Jose, Calif.), Kenny Boynton (Florida / Pompano Beach, Fla.), Darryl Bryant (West Virginia / Brooklyn, N.Y.), DeAngelo Casto (Washington State / Spokane, Wash.), Seth Curry (Duke / Charlotte, N.C.), Gordon Hayward (Butler / Brownsburg, Ind.), Darius Miller (Kentucky / Maysville, Ky.), Arnett Moultrie (UTEP / Memphis, Tenn.), Ralph Sampson III (Minnesota / Duluth, Ga.), John Shurna (Northwestern / Glen Ellyn, Ill.), Tyshawn Taylor (Kansas / Jersey City, N.J.), Howard Thompkins (Georgia / Lithonia, Ga.), Klay Thompson (Washington State / Ladera Ranch, Calif.), Terrico White (Mississippi / Memphis, Tenn.).
If those are the best under 19 players in the US, then the US is in trouble in the upcoming years for international play. They are good, but hardly encompass the best of the best. Kentucky has several freshman coming in that are considered better players than Darius Miller...
