He goes right to make his move everytime, and that **** is not money.
Its predictable and as a result his defenders and the late double team key in on it and disrupt it.
He ends up rushing it to get it off and then its a bad shot.

He's gotta develop other moves.
Up and under.
Go left one time, maybe?
Develop a shot with his left hand.
Keep the ball high and hold on to it tightly!!!!!
He gets stripped alot.


To his credit, he is passing out of the post much better. By Mid-December he should be passing out of the post very nicely.

lay with his left after

i agree they're going to work with him a lot and i think we're going to see a lot of improvement. i'm very very encouraged by what he's shown on D and on the boards. i never saw ANY of that from him in chicago. 5 blocks? 12 boards? hallelujah!! if he can come up with that already then i think he'll come up with the varied offense as well.

my only thing with curry is to remain healthy. i just can't wait to see him 2 years from now. i'm not worried about his development. he is playing a souped up nazi role for us right now...and that's ok.

He'll be fine. So far when he does actually get his shot off without being stripped, he's been automatic. The rest will come.

The one thing I am guessing they have told Curry and maybe some of the other young guys is this: Concentrate on defending and rebounding. How to double, how to rotate, how to play the pick and pop and screen/roll. Only perform the most simple of offensive sets and your fav move or 2. They will implement more on the offensive end when the defense is instinctive.

That's a great observation. That's probably what they were doing. In Jermaine O'Neal's first year in Indiana, his offense wasn't that good, but his defense, rebounding, and shot-blocking were outstanding. Later they worked on polishing his offensive game.

B/c he does for now. He doesn't know how to play with his teammates on offense quite yet, but it's clear he's working hard to learn and he's getting in shape. He's not passing out of doubles quite yet, which ruins the flow of the offense a little, however, he's playing much more solid defense, and he's rotating much quicker, particularly on the help D. He's doing good. You'll see him pass out of those doubles soon. But he has to trust himself and his teammates. Pass out of the double, re establish himself. The ball will come back to him. Just learn where everyone is and especially know where HE is. He seems to makes a spin move sometimes and not be aware that he's under the backboard or facing a triple team.

The good thing is he's getting to the free throw line a heck of a lot. The bad thing is he sucks at free throws. That's something he has to work on EVERYDAY, intensely.

He would have been taken #1 if he came out this year.

I dont think hes a one trick pony at all. He's a Beast! Do you see him downlow? He's only going to get better and better if his health remains intact. he has the potential to score at will and now that he's begun to JUMP for rebounds, he's getting larger numbers.

We have the #1 pick of the draft in my opinion. Bogut will not be the player that Eddy Curry will be, playing under Larry Brown and Isiah Thomas.

What about the improved rebounding and his 5 blocks last night that should at least make him a three trick pony

I really was referring to his offensive game, but yes the blocking and rebounding are sick. And I totaly agree with Martin that they are probably focussing on that aspect of his game first, and then they will concern themselves with offense.

I mentioned his lazy man move once before. Curry is at his best when he is attacking the rim. No one can stop him when he is attacking the rim. Either he is fouled or he scores.

The move where he forces it to the right no matter if the defense already comitted is a lazy mans move. I do that move when I'm tired on the court. It's like a bail me out move......It's just very comfortable and easy. When you are tired that is the best you can do in the post.

All the really talented offensive players have been concentrating on d and rebounding. And they are all improving. Curry is gonna be an absolute monster when this stuff become second nature.
