#1 - Zach Randolph is just flat out a much better version of Eddy Curry, in all ways. So if Eddy is slacking, he really should get benched asap for Lee and move Zach to center who will almost certainly outplay Eddy on most nights.
Zach is the better player, but not in every way. Zach shot a respectable 47% from the field. Curry shot an outstanding 58%.
Eddie shot 57.6%.
58% would mean a significant amount of baskets on the year and probably would mean he would have averaged 20.something. That's another thing to. With his alleged 'outstanding' 57.6% FG scoring, he still' didn't make it over 20 points. As a matter of fact, Stoudemire scored 20.4 a game on 57.5% and Boozer scored 20.9 a game on 56.1%.
Zach took 270 more shots on the year than Eddie.
Eddie scores a lot of his points on the inside, with a lot of lay ins, whiie Zach actually shoots the ball and over people.
Curry is averaging 13.5 (and that's with his newly season high of 19.5 added), while Zach is averaging 16 a game in his' six seasons.
Zach shot 5,246 more attempts to Eddie's 4,133 attempts in thier careers. So the higher amount of shots you take, then the more your field goal average goes down.
It's not to say that Eddie still hasn't found ways to score and raise his average, but with the facts, he's still really not that special. I hope I cleared up those smoke screens well.
I'll never trust this' team again.
