    This season has been a huge disappointment for the Bulls and their high school draftees. Their numbers are down, and Bulls hold the second worst record in the league.

    Statistically, Eddy Curry has improved his game, but his turnovers have nearly doubled this season. His presence in the post is often unnoticed, and he tends to appear uninterested at times.

    He is not worthy of the nickname of 'Baby Shaq.'

    Don't forget though, if Tyson wasn't injured in the first place theres a good chance he'd be averaging a double double.

    Yeah I mentioned that, but edited it out.

    He's had several opportunities to upgrade his play.

    Ice is right Chandler has had many oppurtunities to play better. Eddy Curry has improved but not drastically, the guys a center that cant manage to average 10 boards a game. Chandler has much more potential than curry IMO he will rise to be better than Curry in his prime.

    I'm sorry to ask but is one of those guys, the person who was traded for Elton Brand? If so, that was a really big loss, look at what he's become. As far as these two go, they're young and therefore have time and potential to be building blocks, however being the Bulls they need better support. Hinrich is great, but come on, the ballhog Crawford and the loss of Williams to the biking accident.

    Brand was traded for Chandler, yes.

    What many forget is that for awhile, Chandler was the more consistent of the two, before he was injured this season.

    Since his injury, he has struggled. Curry IMO is more inconsistent, as he can go from a dominating first quarter and disappear for the next 3.

    I dont like to say this about NBA players but curry is my most unlike player in the NBA, he was the biggest wasted draft pick ever unless he can pull up his socks and prove me wrong i say Kwame brown was even a better pick than him. Like Magic Johnson said look at what he has become(Brand) not just that <u>look at what he was</u>befoire they traded him.

    Yeah I think Tyson lost his talent because of his injury. Remember in the beginning of the season when tyson was criticizing his fellow teammates for not being aggressive and he was actually backing up what he was saying... and now he can't back it up... now as in after his back injury. He seems to have lost it and boy are his free throws painful to watch too.

    Yeah that's what I'm started to think after last season. He's so big, I thought he would've at least be a better rebounder by now. He should've went to college, I've been hearing alot about him not being interested while he was playing since his rookie preseason. I use to watch that thing they had on espn 2 before he went to the pros and thought he would be the most effective draft pick that year because of his size. I guess I was wrong.
