Watching Randolph; I have been surprised by his great passing skills when he chooses to pass.
He has a great knack for rebounding and is strong offensive threat. he is only 25, is it unreasonable to expect that he will become more of a team player as he matures or is he just a selfish player like Starberry?

if you're going to use the "He's only 25" argument for Zach then it has to apply to Curry as well... unfortunately in all probability this is what these guys are & will ever be... Zach puts up #'s but for what this team currently needs he isn't the answer now or in the future IMHO... of course, if you bring in a defensive stud C who can block shots & cover for Zach's weak defense along w/a SF who locks down guys on the perimeter, then i think Zach could be a decent fit on this team.

Marbury was only 26 when he got here and he didn't get any more mature, or any better.

25 is not young in the NBA anymore, especially for kids with little or no college.

ROFL! That's exactly what I was going to say as soon as I read the thread title!
Let's try another question: Is Eddy Curry a very bad center or is Eddy curry and awful center?

Zach is a very good player. He is a willing passer and he has shown to be a good guy on the floor.

He is guilty of not trusting his teamates at times. He forces shots when he has no shot at making it. I don't think its cuz he is a ******* or "starbury like". I just think he feels he has to make the shot. He can make it and must make it if his team is gonna win.

That's my take. I like his mannerisms and how he speaks to the media. I feel he is a genuine person in that way.

When the Knicks have it going, he is leading the high fives and working harder on boards and just playing good ball. He isn't the prob.

What I think is scary is how well him and Craw show signs that they both can be huge cogs in a winning situation together. I like what I'm seeing.......I'm gonna take flap here for saying that from you mafia bastards.......

I'm sick of the Knicks.....but its more I'm sick of the Eddy Curry bull****.

Zach is just as streaky as Craw but who cares with Bad ass david lee behind him.......with a clear head right now, I gotta say that david lee is needed here behind Zach. It makes sense.

As far as Eddy? The Knicks need a guy like Diop. He was playing great in NJ tonight. The guy doesn't think to score but he is a legit smart defensive NBA calibur center.....Period!!! He's learned a lot and he is exactly what the Knicks need as a starter @ center. It works cuz davd Lee needs those minutes he would get off the bench.

Yo after that? Knicks would need a vet point guard that still can play but off the bench behind LiL nate. Craw needs a pure shooter behind him........

Then the Knicks need Artest!!!! That type of team would make me cubby 24/7. This is my wish!
