His lack of 3 point shooting is a real sore spot :francis:
that can be worked on...his shooting mechanics arent bad at all :francis:...he isnt that much of a playmaker either....but no one predicted westbrook to develop the way he had :francis:
i just want some athletic, high motor, smart players


we probably gonna get the 8th pick on some bullshyt and draft someone that will be a bust :pachaha:

He's not as fast as Wall and even more troubling is that he's shooting worse from 3 than Wall. I don't think he goes top 3, I think teams will favor Ball over him because of the shooting, and Jackson is a wing who could legitimately go 1.
He isn't as fast as Wall, but he is fast and athletic. More importantly? He doesnt turn the ball over nearly as much and has shown so far is able to play under control so early.

The shooting will have to be addressed, but maybe that can improve over time. This isn't a Rajon Rondo situation.

I don't know if I'd be willing to take a risk on a dude that is allergic to taking threes like that, it would be different if he were a wing player or 6'6", then yeah you take those and hope they can learn to shoot because they have their size to fall back on and a lot of their shooting is catch & shoot. Whereas with a lead guard, he's gonna have to take tough shots off the dribble and if he can't learn it's just a :ld: situation with where the league is now.

He's a good athlete, but he's not on that Westbrook/Wall tier, their speed at their size is what makes them what they are.

I think he'll be good, but I don't know if the Knicks can afford to take that risk, especially not with the amount of pressure that would be on him.


Non-shooting PGs today is really a crapshoot, look at Elfrid Payton.

All I want is a decent chance to move into the top #3..... This tanking needs to continue:hubie:

Jeff better Start Baker and Sasha every damn night!!!:damn:

Rumors from Begley is the knicks are looking at Monk and Ntilkina so I wouldn't be surprised if Phil feels the same way...... shyt even more cause every guard has to be able to shoot the 3 in the damn Tryangle.

It's probably Ntilikina who they like the most, 40% from three and he's sort of a combo guard. Phil has never been a fan of true PGs, and Frank isn't that.

Westbrook had an excuse. He wasn't the lead guard at UCLA. Collison was. Fox doesn't have that fallback.

If the knicks are fourth with Ball and the other 2 gone who should the knicks gamble on if they land 4th? Thats the problem. We need someone to feed KP and Willie.

As much as Melo annoys me. I think I'm starting to lean with people in thinking that Rose is even worst for this team. We need a PG in the worst way and I think Fox right from the start will play better with Melo than Rose ever did.
