Stephen Curry very impressed by Oklahoma's Trae Young

Stephen Curry took time after the Warriors' 125-122 win over the Mavericks on Wednesday to rave about the Oklahoma freshman's impressive game.

"It seems like he's always composed and knows what he's trying to do with the ball in his hand," Curry told reporters, via ESPN. "He shoots a lot of deep 3s and has a creativity to his game that's cool to watch."

Young spoke with the Wall Street Journal this week and talked about how Curry inspired him as a player.

"He was changing the game," Young told the Journal, "and the way I played fit perfectly."

"I feel like it's you shoot a 3 or you get all the way to the rim," Young added. "The game has shifted in the direction that I play."

The Oklahoma freshman tied the NCAA assists record with 22 in a win over Northwestern State in December. He has posted five straight double-doubles and leads the nation in scoring with 29.4 points per game.

As great as it is to accomplish all of that, though, Young was far more thankful for Curry's compliments.
