Outlook
Curtis Terry (R) of UNLV Runnin' Rebels drives to the basket past Al Fisher (L) of Kent State Flashes during their first round NCAA men's basketball championship game in Omaha, Nebraska, March 20, 2008. UNLV won the game 71-58.A guard with great size.  Swings easily between the shooting guard and the point guard spot.  Really has unlimited range on his jump shot after extensive training with his older brother Jason Terry of the Dallas Mavericks.  Very quick with the ball and his size makes him an excellent post up option against smaller guards.  Will destroy teams who give him space and a great slasher to the basket.  Fantastic court vision plus a high basketball IQ makes him very able to organize a team and get the ball to the right people in the right place.  Not afraid to take the shot with everything on the line and routinely pulls up from well past the 3pt arc to bury deep jumpers.  A great combo guard selection for any team and is capable to play at the highest levels.

Career

2011-12: Signed with Akita in the BJ League in Japan.  Immediately came in and started carving out a place for himself with his stellar play.  Playing both the guard positions but after the coach saw what a deadly 3pt shooter he is than he moved him totally to the SG position.  He responded immediately and on 01/07/12 vs Toyama he recorded an astounding 36pts by going a hot 7-16 from beyond the 3pt line.  Added to that 5 steals and a pair of assists and you have the MVP of the game without doubt.

 

2010-11:  Signed with the Texas Legends and played only one game before NBA assignments pushed too many players to the roster.  Left the team and joined with ITU in the second half of the season.  Started off red hot in the Turkish divsion but problems with management upstairs caused the Turkish players to go on strike and eventually the team stopped paying altogether.  Terry for his part was great going for a season high 33pts, 6assts and 13rebs vs Beykoz on 1/15/11.  Shot a very solid 35% from 3pt land and without all the financial problems who knows how the team would have faired?

 

2009-10: Signed with Petro Atletic de Luanda of Angola in Africa for the season.  Had an outstanding season averaging 20ppg, 5+rpg and 5+apg making him the perfect all around player.  Was selected as a tournament all star and best overall combo guard in pre-season tournaments in the African challenge cup series.  Lead his team to a playoff birth before loosing to the eventual champions.
