BANKS Staff Reporter It's not every day that an NBA owner takes the time to sit down with a player, talk shop, smile, pat him on the back and wish him well. But when that player is underachieving center Eddy Curry, whom the Bulls drafted out of Thornwood High School in 2001, it could turn out to be time well-spent for chairman Jerry Reinsdorf. ''It made me feel real good that he thinks highly of me,'' Curry said. ''I have a lot of respect for Mr. Reinsdorf because he had enough confidence in me to draft me and try to build around me. The meeting went well. We got to know each other better. </div> Full Article: http://www.suntimes.com/output/bulls/cst-spt-eddy05.html
Eventhough many others have begun to give up on Curry, I still believe he can be a star in the NBA. He definitely does have the size, I think he has the talent to become one of the top centers in the league. He is already up there with the lack of talent at the center spot, but I think he could even be a top 3 center. He's also one of the few centers in the league who can actually shoot faily well from the freethow line. It's not great, but 67% from a center seems to be good in these last few years.. He also has to play more defense and crash the boards, but I really think he's capable of being one of the best.
^I think alot of people know what he's capable of, but he needs to be in shape and play hard, he has the talent, just needs the effort to back up the talent.
Curry can be anything he wants to, but he's got to have the mindset to do so. Eddy Curry will be a great player next season and probably MIP if plays half as well i expect him to. Curry has the size and ability to be a dominant big man in the NBA he just need's some heart, and needs to workout a lot this summer.
I just wish Curry had as much heart as Tyson at the beginning of the season cause Tyson seemed to be the only one who cared at first.
