Title says it all, can Curry be re-made into a defensive center? He has the size, can he be given a specific role and molded to fit the Knicks current needs?

No but he could be a post presence on offense that would open things up for all of the three point shooters the Knicks have. I hope he makes it back.

That's the only realistic hope we can have of Curry. And once it happens you trade him in a nice package.

I think a clearly defined role will benefit him. Now that Zach is gone, I can only hope, once again, that he will realize his potential. We NEED a defensive minded center/post up guy. Can Curry be 'the guy'. I don't know but he is the guy we have. He has an upside, maybe getting back into his 'role' will help him get his head together.

Through some error in his dna, he is only able to raise his arms over his head when he HAS THE BALL. So, they he might want to play D, he simply cannot.

Now that sums it all right there!!!!!

Crushalot - D'antoni doesn't want to have a plotting post presence to open up the jumpshooters......the jump shooters are already open thanks to D'antoni's offense. If Curry comes back you want him sliding and cutting....basically being Amare stoudamire. Having Curry posting up as a focal point screws up everything.

I think Curry can be re-made into a top notch hockey goalie.

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

He did it before--he can do it again. How many points would Eddy Curry have if he played 38 minutes last night when hes at his best--my guess is 26 points 7 rebounds if David Lee had 22. Remember this guy played and was in shape not long ago for 40 minutes on several different occasions. It's not like he is 32. He's not even 26.

Sounds like Jeffries is going to be 'the guy'. But if Curry can come off the bench and clog the middle, prevent penetration and get some post up points, he could make a spot for himself.
