Top draftees Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry need to grow up, according to Sam Smith of the Chicago Tribune. Smith compared the stats of the top picks and points out that both are behind other players such as Kwame Brown (12 points, 12.7 rebounds and 4.3 blocks), Pau Gasol (22.7 points and 7 rebounds) and Jason Richardson (13 points and 5 rebounds). Chandler is averaging 7.3 points and six rebounds while Curry is averaging 6.5 points and 2.3 rebounds in the 2-2 start.

What Sam Smith ?forgot? to mention is that the Chicago Bulls are a very deep team meaning Chandler is only averaging 20 minutes and Eddy Curry only 14 in comparison to Brown's 35 minutes per contest and both Richardson and Gasol 38 minutes.
