thats not fair... I dont think people have soured on him. What I have maintained all offseason and into this season is that he's a center, and a poor fit next to Curry. Thats been completely true.

oohah, at what point does this become bad management?

How much evidence do we need to see before we decide to try something different? You tell me.... We are looking at what? 80-100 NBA games?

I havent said the only option is to trade or dump him. Eddy is still fat and maybe cutting his minutes a bit gets him working harder on both ends of the floor. Play Eddy 30 and give Frye the other 18 minutes at center where he can be featured off the bench. That will help his growth much more than having him stand 18 feet from the basket where he doesnt rebound, doesnt have a chance to block shots and does nothing but launch long jumpers.

I would think a good coach would be able to see Frye clearly excels playing center and clearly struggles playing PF. The coach can either keep forcing the issue because of "never ever" or he can put guys in a position to suceed where they have proven they can do so.

What would you rather see?

No chance they cut Eddy's minutes. Part of this season has been showcasing Eddy Curry. The fans who are still watching are eating it up (based on this board). It's the only thing that's kept Isiah from being fired, I think. While it makes logical sense, we're driving up Curry's perceived value, making him out to be Shaq-lite or Ewing-lite. That's what it's come to, and a lot of people are so desperate to see the Knicks succeed that they will buy into Curry being the new savior.

The reality is we don't have a savior, have no plan to acquire one and we probably have another two years of Isiah, because he has the Knicks playing 'just well enough', combined with Curry's progress, to not get fired.

Frye is a much better player than these #s show, but my good. Look at the position difference between center and pf.

45% of the time is 45% of the entire time, open or not. Don't add "if he's wide open" after quoting his shooting percentage - it makes no sense.

And by the way its 46% for the career not 45%, and 82% from the line.

well, here is a better picture of his shot selection:

Shot	Att.	eFG%	Ast'd	Blk'd	Pts	
Jump	75%  	.364   	75%  	4%  	5.9 
Close	20%  	.579   	42%  	7%  	2.4 
Dunk	2%  	1.000   100%  	0%  	0.5 
Tips	3%  	.500   	0%  	0%  	0.3 
Inside	25%  	.611   	48%  	6%  	3.3
