I see Eddy doing a better job passing out of the post to open guards on the perimeter. He's not Shaq but he has shown some progress. It looks like Curry is finally learning to do the little things needed to be successful in the nba.
I disagree. He's only scoring more because he's getting more looks from the guards and his FG% is barely above his career average. I really don't think he's that much better, he just looks better because he's actually being featured.
While he is getting 20pts a game because he is being featured. His low post moves are way more consistant. He actually looks like he has a better feel around the basket than he has shown with the Knicks all last season. He isn't trying to take people off the dribble anymore. He is using drop steps and spin moves. He is also getting better position which is allowing his jump hook to be more consistant as well. He is also avoiding running over people.
Whats funny is some of you guys absolutly killed our guards last yr for not featuring Curry first when it was Larry Browns plan. Now Curry improves his game and is featured and is producing. Now Curry is getting bashed for it(not a dig at you Bippity). Curry is who he is. Get a backup Center that compliments him and play matchups thats the only thing we can really do. And though Curry doesn't provide the intimidation and rebounding that is preferd. He still provides an ability that very very few teams have. Getting a defeinsive minded center who can intimidate & rebound is a lot easier than landing a natural center who can score 20pts a game strictly in the low post. Its not that hard to land a defensive minded center to backup Curry and come in when its needed.
And Curry's passing is improving, its not great but its improveing. He should look to make his moves only to kick out sometimes. Which I see Curry cappable of doing if thats what Isiah wanted him to focus on.
