He still passes up post-up opportunities, even when he has a mismatch. He's still clueless on what to do on drives lasting more than one dribble. A 3 point shooting 7 footer with his minutes and agility should be averaging 20 ppg easily.



Offensively he is a system player.. and has much room for improvement.. In the post is still mechanical and needs to develop a spin move because he is always going to shoot over the defender, and is becoming quite easy to read.. SAme to take position.. he needs to become more secure, and hard, to avoid steals.. I think eventually he will get there.. also off the dribble, becoming able to create off the script..
Defensively he just needs to be concentrated all the time.. When he is, he is very good man on man defender, and improved help defender..HE needs keep working.. but he quite good for a 24 years old big man without good natural instincts

People do not understand Curry's reason for wanting to be a ballerina. He wanted to be able to contort his body to be able to fit in the fridge.

IMO, he made a lot of these improvements in the second half of last season.

He's good but not MIP unless he can average over 20 for the rest of the season and doesn't go into a slump as he's been prone to.

He is capable of doing pretty much anything in the post if given the right direction. As we keep saying, we need a very good big man coach for Bargnani & Bosh to learn some new moves from.

If this is the direction we are going (big man oriented team), then a retired elite big man would be a great investment as a development coach.

We need to trade Bosh for a handful of scientists, and clone Bargnani to play with himself in the front court.

Good thing it hasn't taken a 360 like Kidd...
