Steph Curry Becomes Only Player Drafted in 2009 to Remain on Same Team

The recent trade between Toronto and San Antonio has shaken up the NBA, but it has also caused the 2009 NBA Draft to have a weird statistic.

DeMar DeRozan was drafted in the 2009 NBA Draft 9th overall by the Toronto Raptors. Prior to the trade this week, he has remained with the Raptors throughout his entire career.  Now that he has been moved, there is only one player from the 2009 NBA Draft that has remained with the team that drafted him.

Steph Curry now holds the interesting honor of being the only player to remain on the team that drafted him from his draft class. Curry is a three-time NBA Champion and two-time NBA MVP. There's no surprise that he hasn't gone anywhere else.

Think of some of the names that were drafted in 2009. Blake Griffin was drafted first overall. James Harden was selected with the third pick. Even guys like Ricky Rubio, Jrue Holiday, and Taj Gibson were all taken in that year. All of them have moved at least once during their career.
