Channing's value has to go up. He can't be this bad.

all we can ask for his effort. this team ain't built to win. and coming off of last year, they should be bustin' ass every night. unfortunately, alot of them don't. and that's a shame.

david and balkman have earned more time b/c of their play.

channing and curry have earned their way into the doghouse.

but politics and fairness don't often coincide.

he's not. though it may get worse before it gets better.

That's why I would bring him off the bench and let him shoot without a conscience in an attempt to get out of his slump.

I will use experience in this answer--channing's best bet to"break out" is to CONCENTRATE on rebounds and blocks shots/defense. If he can get a couple of offensive rebound slam put backs snatch 11-12 rebounds--get to the foul line and show intensity on stopping his man, his offense will naturally pick up--right now he is doing the opposite--fixating on his jump shot. Right now he needs to get mean and nasty and do little things--get himself to the foul line--and that wont happen sitting at 20 feet from the basket.
