For this upcoming season and in his prime.

20, 10.

He needs to improve on the rebounding part and also learn to stay out of foul trouble.

**Krstic All Star** · 05-21-2007, 08:51 PM

What I expect to see and what I want to see are two very different things.

I expect to see about 20 and 9, but I want to see at least 10-11 rpg, and have a percentage of those not come from missed FTs, which are stat-padding and not a measure of actual rebounding ability. I really want to see him get to about 2 bpg, and average more assists than turnovers as well.

alphaorange · 05-22-2007, 05:53 AM

I expect to see 22 and 7.5. What the Knicks NEED to see is 9+ boards and an improved passing and defensive game. He'll never be Oakley with his defense and he'll never be a passer like Shaq, but he absolutely must get MUCH better than he is. 22 ppg with the rest of his game unchanged will NOT make the Knicks a winner but 20 ppg with a better all around game will certainly be big.

**HKF** · 05-22-2007, 05:56 AM

I expect about 22 ppg and 6.8 rpg. Horrible rebounder and no desire to check guys out. What I expect from Eddy is to lead the damn Knicks to the playoffs and stop messing around. Become a dominator. I could careless if he doesn't pass well out of double teams, as long as he can seal his man and establish position, power to the rim.

thatsnotgross · 05-22-2007, 09:05 AM

The same as usual... I never complained about his offense and I'm sure you guys aren't surprised by what he did on the offensive end.

But my whining about Curry since his bulls days are still there...
Rebound please, you're 7'0 not 5'0
Less turnover please... you've been in the NBA for how long?
Less offensive fouls please.
Better man help
Better defensive rotator
Better clog in the middle
Just put more effort on defense.
Same weaknesses since his days as a bull.

shakespeare · 05-22-2007, 09:39 AM

I expect for Curry to play some defense. Improve his help defense. And rebound the ball better. I understand we have David Lee but I want to see a more defensive-minded intimidator in the paint. And would shotblocking it be asking too much? Also, he must learn how to pass out of a double-team.

I expect 20ppg, 10rpg and a few assist.

alphaorange · 05-22-2007, 02:13 PM

He'll do the 20, but 10 and 3 is a pipe dream

ChosenFEW · 05-22-2007, 03:54 PM

curry will never average 10 with the knicks mostly because we have other guys that do a very good job at that already.

im looking for him to get longer streak of 20 plus points per game.

what i would really like to see him have is around 2 assist per game(1.5-2.0). That would be just great

**Da Grinch** · 05-22-2007, 04:44 PM

for next season.

I personally couldn't care less what number of rebounds eddy avg. I expect him to go back to his 05-06 form when he outrebounded whomever was matched up against him by masterfully boxing out opposing centers .

i expect 20-22 points a game, about 58% from the field and more importantly i expect the knicks to finish in the top 8 overall offensively mostly because of his overall improvement and effectiveness, but probably not so much better than his stats last season if you cut out novemeber .

in his prime

25 points 61% fg 9-10 boards 2nd team all nba behind yao or that oden fellow.

alphaorange · 05-23-2007, 02:38 PM

Because that one is a load of steaming crap. I went back and checked box scores in 05-06. Curry was eaten up by nearly every decent center he played against on the boards. He really only out rebounded the lower echelon of post players. He was actually better this year. So much for his boxing out mastery. If he becomes a good defender or rebounder, I'll be the first to say I was wrong. Ain't happening.

EwingStarksOakley94 · 05-23-2007, 03:55 PM

I expect him to be the same. I cannot see him getting any better. He's just too damn lazy and for the rest of his career will float between mediocrity and flashes of stardom. He's not the total package and never will be. It's the harsh reality.

you are funny .

so you really went and checked boxscores from the 05-06 season and can refute this?

http://www.82games.com/0506/05NYK16C.HTM.

your boxscores are lying to you ....and since eddy avg. all of 26 minutes that season , you may not have the most accurate info ...you know since they accumulate their stats by watching the games.

thanks for playing.

alphaorange · 05-23-2007, 04:42 PM

A couple of points:

1) Since your link is based on 48 minutes, extrapolated from his 25 minutes, ht result is automatically skewed in his favor. The more minutes one plays, the less effective one becomes per minute. This has been discussed ad nauseum here and other places. It's really indisputable, nearly without exception.

2) The link is an average over the course of the season and in no way compares head to head, which you claim. Check the box scores.

Thanks for playing.
