First to China......Nate is way to TO prone a times, and its hard to have a TO machine in there unless you have the lead. Trying to come back...which we always are...is not possible when you have to protect every possession.

Next up, Chris.....Curry has more than physical skills. He is a decent shotblocker when healthy and is nearly unstoppable down low when he is not double-teamed. He must yet learn to pass quicly oout of the double teams. Whether or not he learns to do this will define him as a player. Star or mediocre? As far as his man defense goes, he is not good, but he is still better than Ewing who got beat by everybody, even when he was young. He WAS, however, a better shotblocker than Curry. Ariza has faults but yoou are simply wrong about his jumping. It happens to be one of his best attributes...quick and high off the floor. I'm just not sure where you got that one. Its hard to tell about his IQ because of his utter lack of experience and playing for 3 coaches in a year and a half. Agree with you on most of the young guys (higher on Curry and Arizaand lower on JC and Marbury) but I just don't like Taylor....despite his improvement in certain areas, he is a black hole when the ball gets to him.
