I like Curry, I hope he improves. But it's more then getting minutes. The guy has physical ability but a very limited game. As others have said can't pass, can't defend, so-so rebounder. SO yeah he plays 36 minutes he scores more - but still doesn't provide enough in other areas to be a solid contributer.

Curry did not play well last night. What did he do besides score a few. 3 rebounds, 0 blocks, 0 assists 2 T0s in 23 minutes. To reiterate he has a very limited game.

3 rebounds and zero on thedefensive end is PATHETIC from your starting center, no matter how you slice it. PATHETIC.

Kaman gets to play with Brand. That makes a big difference.

I'd rather have a center who scored a little less but was better all around and have an honest effort every single night than a center who scored more because the only thing he gives a damn about is scoring easy baskets around the rim.

I agree but Curry has POTENTIAL tho.

POTENTIAL!!!!!!!! You hear me? I said POTENTIAL!!. 3 years from now IFFFFFFF he learns how to hit a 10 foot jumper,loose weight,learn to rebound,learn to play defense,learn to stop committing fouls and learn some post moves instead of running over people and getting offensive fouls.

POTENTIAL!!!!!!!! IFFFFFFFFFF he does all that he can be a MONSTER!!!! LIKE SHAQ!!

(sarcasm ends)

Does Curry even have the potential for a 20 rebound game like Kaman had last night?

To be fair before this season I don't think anyone thought Kaman would grab 20 in a game. On a side note Willie Green once scored 50 for Miami and Adonal Foyle, Troy Murphy, and Lamar Odom all have 20 rebound games under their belt...Who would have expected that?

i agree,

Kaman has arrived. He certainly has done better than I had him figured to do.

Plus, he just seems like he has the attitude of "doing whatever it takes".

Can't buy that.

Tough call, but I'll give the Curry the nod based on potential. That being said, if I had Kaman, I don't think I would trade Kaman straight up for Curry.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.
