Curry or Randolph 

Post#1 » by breaker91 » Sun Jan 20, 2008 6:03 am

Pick your poison. Neither player is particularly attractive, but if you somehow had one on your fav team who would you prefer. So I guess I'm asking all things considered who do you hate less.

Curry
Is lazy
Has no passion
Can't rebound
Can't score ore than 5 feet from the rim
Has no off court issues
Can't play D, pass or block a shot
Has a better contract

Randolph
A hardworker
Has a fair amount of off court baggage
Shoots a low percentage
Can't play D, pass or block a shot
Has a worse contract

Randolph easily, far superior rebounder, and is effective enough as a passer to handle double teams.

Yeah, at least Randolph is an above rebounder.

Fat vs. fatter?

I'll take Randolph, because he's slightly closer to being in shape.

Randolph, without a doubt. Curry can only do about one thing (strict post scoring) and is a lousy rebounder, passer, defender, ft shooter, etc.

Zach Randolph is money from the interior, can hit the mid-range jumper with relative consistency, is a pretty good free throw shooter and an average passer for his position. His defense, albeit not very good, is still better than Curry's.

Guess I'm in the minority, but gimme Curry.

Zach may certainly be the better player, but it's friggin hard to find a C of any sort of quality. Even a one dimensional one like Curry. And it's just as hard to find a legit post-scorer.

Zach actually has a relatively low fg% for a bigman. It's true he's a vastly superior rebounder, but that's not enough for me to take him over Curry.

Is it just me or am i starting to see a seperation between Knicks fans over Curry or randolph ?

I take Randolph as should you guys .. like someone mentioned hard worker and he actually provides a promlem for some teams .. Curry is inconsistent and not a good rebounder ... i have seen him air-ball a free throw this season and that said enough

Neither get a vote? Forced to choose, I'd take Randolph because lazy stars negatively influence their teammates and Curry doesn't seem to put in the effort.

Randolph, you need defense from the center position, and Curry doesn't give you that.

give me Curry then at least only a sixth of the teams cap is sitting on the bench getting no minutes rather than a quarter with Randolph.

Sometimes it makes you wonder why these two are on the same team at all. I'll take Randolph pretty easily.
