Eddy Curry isn't that effective with his back to the basket. He turns it over and can't handle double teams smoothly. He is much more effective and efficient when you get him on the move with pick and rolls, lobs, seals, etc. That is a much bigger reason he scores at a high clip in the paint. The high-low with another big man where they lob it to him and he seals, or the pick and roll, or a backscreen to get him free. Anything where he can catch the ball right by the rim and finish. He isn't good at creating.
