His biggest flaw is figuring out the double and triple teams. He needs to get much, much better as a passer out of them. If he was so ineffective as a low post scorer, he wouldn't have to be double teamed...and he is whenever he touches it. I think if he could stay on the court for 34-36 min. he would average 20 and 10 with a coouple of blocks. he needs a good coach for a longer period than 1 year. More than anything, this team needs a tough defender. Artest would go a long way toward curing what ails us. Curry, Frye, Lee, Artest, and whoever we can get that would be a tough, tenacious PG would make us much better in a hurry. A bit weak on the outside but hell on wheels inside and on the break. Bring JC and Nate off the bench....I really don't think this team is as bad as we have shown....but I can't understand the lack of passion and energy most times.
