Warriors' Stephen Curry Relaunching 'Underrated' Tour for 3-Star CBB Recruits

After taking last year off from Underrated because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry is bringing back the tour to showcase some of the overlooked college basketball recruits in the 2021 class. 

Per Max Resetar of SLAM Online, the 2021 Underrated Tour will begin in Washington, D.C., on July 31 and Aug. 1. It will make stops in Chicago (Aug. 7-8), Dallas (Aug. 13-14) and Los Angeles (Aug. 21-22). There will be a championship event in Oakland next April. 

Curry originally launched the tour in 2019 with a mission statement to provide "opportunities for players that are in the very position he once was."

Prior to becoming one of the best players in NBA history and a two-time NBA MVP, Curry wasn't a highly regarded prospect coming out of Charlotte Christian High School. 

Per 247Sports composite rankings, Curry was a 3-star recruit and the 256th-ranked player in the 2006 class. He committed to Davidson after head coach Bob McKillop pledged to build the program around his talent. 

McKillop's belief in Curry's talent paid off, as the Wildcats went 85-20 with two NCAA tournament appearances during his three seasons with the program. Davidson advanced to the Elite Eight as a No. 10 seed in 2008. 

Curry averaged 32 points per game on 44.2 percent three-point shooting in four games that tournament. He parlayed that success at Davidson into ultimately becoming the seventh overall pick by the Warriors in the 2009 NBA draft. 

The Underrated Tour will feature 75 boys and 75 girls on the first day of each stop. The top 30 boys and girls players from that day will receive an invitation based on their performances to compete on the second day.
