Eddy Curry was expected by many (but not by all) to have a breakout year. After averaging 19.5 points and 7 rebounds last year it appeared as if curry was destined to be an all star this year. There was a good amount of people who felt Curry was snubbed from the all-star team last year including this guy:
Sadly, im sure there was alot of people who agreed with this guy. Statistically Curry was impressive. Down low he was very difficult to stop, constantly drawing double teams (which he did not do a good job of passing out of). He played no defense but this was suppose to be the year where Curry finally became a dominant center in the NBA.
In 26 minutes per game this year, Curry only averaged 13.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, and half a block. He also averaged over 2 turnovers a game. I cant fully blame his pathetic year on him. Some of the blame has to go to head coach Isiah Thomas, the assistant coaches, and the lack of having a well constructed team to play with. Ultimately its all isiahs fault for the Knicks lack of success but it is evident that Curry did not work hard over the summer as he said he would. He was suppose to come back with a jumpshot which didnt happen.
What does the future hold for Eddy Curry?
Hopefully Curry will not be a Knick next year. Its unfortunate that with his size and athletic ability (he can move when he wants to, but apparently only Burger King gets him moving) that he is as unproductive on the basketball court as he is. Will this potential force ever dominate the way he should or will he remain soft and continue to be one of the leagues biggest underachievers?
