From Yahoo fantasy basketball. For those of you that don't know, they have Curry ranked as the 82 "best" center eligible players. Yes that is correct, 82!! Below a person asks Yahoo why Chubbs is ranked so poorly.
Hey, Funston, can you please explain to me how it's possible for you and Buser, and Snellings, not to list Eddy Curry on the top 27 list of centers in your 2007-2008 pre-season rankings? Have you all lost your minds? Do you guys really think that Kaman, Darko, and Nene are that much better than Curry? – Hank, Staten Island, NY

Funston response: Oh, definitely, we all think Curry's fantasy game stinks. Have you not heard of Buser's Curry Line? Basically, it's a metric named in honor of Curry. It looks for players that average more Turnovers than Steals, Blocks, and Assists combined – there's not many that are that inept. Curry doesn't even come close to a 1:1 ratio. In fact, his combined Steals, Blocks and Assists from last year came out to less than half his number of Turnovers. Only a couple other players in the league even finished under a 1:1 ratio, and they were at least close. Curry's typically overrated in fantasy by those who can't see beyond his Points and FG%. And, heck, for his size, he's a pretty poor rebounder.

He's also a terrible defensive player!! This is what our "brilliant" sexual harasser gm acquired for 2 unprotected lottery picks.

He's worth more than the 2 lottery picks we gave up. The deal was a steal for us!

I know, major. Isn't it disgusting? Curry deserves every knock he gets. That's why I never draft him in fantasy leagues. He's so bad his mere presence on your fantasy team prevents your team from having a shot to win.

Judging the worth of a player based on his fantasy value is retarded.

Yes he sucks in all of those other categories, however, in real basketball, points are more important than all of those statistics. Eddys turnovers may or may not lead to points, but his points are-well points.

All stats arent equal, say what you like EC is a beast. Theres a reason the league wouldbn't rate him at 82.

Points are more important than any other statistic? You'll have to explain to me why every team that wins a championship is reasonably balanced then, plays defense, etc...? Points are important but you know what... a lot of guys in the league can score. Show me players who excel in multiple areas.

Maybe I'll see if Circuit City sells one of those tvs Bonn was talking about: You know the ones that cut to commercial break when the Knicks are on defense. Then maybe I will understand what you guys are seeing.

In my fantasy draft the other day, Curry went with the 5th pick in the 9th round. It's a 14 team league. Channing Frye was drafted one spot ahead of him. The "great" Stephon Marbury went in the 7th round.

I wouldn't be shocked if Frye has the best season out of the three... not that that's saying much.

Nobody is judging Curry's worth on fantasy value. We're judging his worth on how one dimensional he is. For all the good things he does scoring the ball 3 feet from the hoop, it gets nullified and then some with his turnovers, poor rebounding, terrible defense, inconsistent free throw shooting, lack of passing, slow in transition and no leadership. Then you throw in his bad offensive games, you wind up with a player throughout the course of the season who kills your chances of winning on a consistent basis.

You ever notice that the guys that are big in to FANTASY basketball are very short and very white who have never played in the NBA nor ever been asked to coach in the NBA?

Look at some of the other lame rankings noted. Al Jefferson above Gionobli and Dwight Howard.

Deron Williams at 35

Bosh at 18 with Camby ahead of him

Its called FANTASY basketball because it has nothing to do with reality

I'm over 6'3", thanks for playing. Now that we have that out of the way, who on this board HAS played in the NBA or been asked to coach in the NBA? You? Furthermore, what's with the excessive racism against white people on this board lately? I got spammed with five emails insulting me for being white, and not accepting God/accepting Satan and not accepting Isiah as my savior. What the hell is this crap about? Is it kill whitey week or what?

Not surprising that he's above Ginboli. Howard is likely taking a hit because he's a turnover machine (almost as much as Curry).

Camby was the defensive player of the year. Bosh is great, but Camby has a more well rounded game. The result is slightly surprising, but not terribly. How big was the difference?

Except that the statistics are reflections of reality. And in this case, the statistics do a great job of highlighting how one-dimensional Eddy Curry is. Granted, his one-dimension is more important in reality than fantasy basketball, which puts an equal weighting on all statistics.

Regardless, these numbers show just how disproportionate and incomplete his total game really is.

Some people would also prefer a picture of Halle Berry to the real thing.

Dat don't make it right.

Matt Buser who runs Yahoo fantasy basketball is a short white dude as is usually not always the case for the guys that run FANTASY basketball.

Dwight Howard actually had more turnovers than Curry but I know you cant bring yourself to admit that. Sorry. :)

Camby was DPOY and I like Camby a lot but Camby plays 60 games a year while Bosh was 7th in mvp voting. Camby didnt even get a vote.

Thats the difference between real Basketball and FANTASY basketball.

So how do you explain away Chubby having way more turnovers than blocks, steals, and assists? Aren't his points devalued when he doesn't contribute in other areas that are just as important to winning games?

Curry had 33 straight games last yr where his turnovers outnumbered his ast and another streak I think of 27gms. That's simply a staggering stat. The ast didn't even equal the turnovers in these two streaks.

He had a 13gm stretch during the end of the season where he had 62To's vs 13ast, that's a 5:1 ratio folks and here's a Doozy....He played 209min a span of 6gms and only had 25 total rebounds.


Catastrophically Atrocious!

Yahoo Fantasy just piles on. I really don't need to reference it. EY has so many negative aspects to his game even when you look at his offense. The stats above show he doesn't make his teammates better, he contributes often to being an offensive momentum killer, he doesn't play a lick of D, and he keeps the opposition in the game on several nights. That's why I say HIS SCORING MEANS NOTHING TO ME until he shows up in other more important categories such as double digit rebound avg if possible, 1.5 block/gm minimum, 2ast/gm minimum, 2.5TO's/gm max.

Normally you'd have to give up at least four lottery picks to get the 82nd best center.
