the only thing Channing did to earn his starting role over D Lee is being picked over him in the draft... he had a good start to his rookie year last year when D Lee was hardly given an opportunity to play... this year there's really nothing he's done to earn his starting spot.
Well I'm not sure about that...Frye said that Isiah ask him to play on the perimeter to stretch the defense to free Curry on the inside...Lee really can't do that...I would love to see Frye play more under the basket and develop his post game...Coming into this year Frye earned his starting spot...If his numbers suffer because his coach ask him to play like a small forward and stay away from the basket, how do you punish him by benching him??
Curry had his best stretch of play all year when Frye was out injured so Frye stretching the defense to benefit Eddy, is a pointless argument.
I dont see how people cant see how before Lee couldnt start because he has NO shot! Now that Qs back there is some lineups that you can put on the floor with Lee that are balanced, but before, what are you going to do, start Curry/Lee/JJ? Curry/Lee/Balkman/ Curry/Frye/Lee? And keep in mind that when Frye was out the lineup people werent doubling Eddy everytime he touched the ball. You really dont think perimeter shooting is needed to balance the offense?!?
Whose saying perimeter shooting isn't important? I'm the guy who wants the stud Wing for this team. The argument is whether or not Channing Frye's perimeter play is truly responsible for Curry playing as well as he has and I don't think it is. Curry's best play of the year came when David Lee was starting at PF next to him and he's not an outsider player.
Currys play is attributed to the guards pounding the ball to him and Curry converting, not because Channing Frye is standing on the perimeter.
