Posted by Bonn1997:Posted by Pharzeone:And which one of your points disproves what I said? My point is simple: Every year, Isiah signs one or two guys who were supposedly just off everyone else's radar. Then the Misterearls and Pharezones go wild about how the player's gonna be great; he replaces the draft picks that Isiah and Dolan (inevitably) gave up that off-season, etc. Then a few months later, they're either fringe NBA players or completely out of the league.Posted by Bonn1997:Posted by misterearl: Bonn, find me one post where I go wild about any draft pick. Knick or otherwise. I never go wild about anybody who hasn't proven jack **** in the NBA. I leave that to others. This only proves my point about you. I actually recall you going ape**** over Isiah pickups not me. Take the meds again, you're losing your memory.  I don't like to play bad rookies , I like to play good rookies - Mike D'Antoni

Let's get one thing straight. Randolph Morris may not be the sexy prospect some may look for, but he was able to more than handle Noah and Horford in the post. He had no problem scoring on those guys inside and defending against them too. He's got skills and an NBA body. He's no lightweight and I think he has a good chance to catch on in this league. 6-11 and 260, while being quick and agile is a good thing. He's not as explosive as a guy like D. Howard, but he is athletic enough. In short he's a VERY good prospect and I think he is being underrated by folks around here. If he was in this draft he'd be a solid pick in the mid 1st rd.

forget Isiah Thomas
I find it curious that absolutely no one (other than nixluva) wants to put their basketball (cough) reputation on the line, "man up" and take a clear stance on which available player they would prefer: 1. the projected mid-first rounder, forward/center Jason Smith or 2. the late-season signing, forward/center Randolph Morris one inquiring mind wants to know [Edited by - misterearl on 06-12-2007 09:31 AM] once a knick always a knick

Posted by misterearl: misterearl, why are you just using Jason Smith as an example though? This is what I say. If we're building around Curry, then we need other players who can compliment him. Hence, if we can get a shooter and/or shotblocker, that's far more important than having another low post scorer on the bench who may struggle to get playing time, especially if we still have Channing, Lee, Balkman, Jefferies, Quentin?, Malik, whatever draft pick, and so on. Now, Morris is a nice scorer in the post, and may or may not be able to play NBA defense, there's much better fits out there. This is, of course, assuming that we have to choose between the draft pick and Morris, as you implied. I personally would like to have both AND trade for another pick so we can have all 3 while getting the hell rid of the Francis's, Jerome Jame's, and Jared Jefferies of the world. What am I saying misterearl? Randolf Morris, while looking like a nice Frosty the Snowman decoration, just doesn't seem to add any substance to the team as of right now.

I just think the guy going off that he can start on the knicks is kinda funny!
What do we think of Eddy As a power forward? |

Generally, what I've read is that the draft 'experts' considered Randolph Morris a mid-round pick before we signed him - somewhere between 10 and 20. Why is that not a good pick-up? And what team said that they did not what him or wouldn't have taken him without having to give up a draft pick. Isaiah's made some bad moves, but not giving him credit for this is not rational.

Posted by misterearl: Different type of player. One is a true low post old school back to the basket with good fundamentals and a big body--the other a more fluid athletic player with more range and ball skills. I guess its up to a team's indivdual style of play and how the player fits.. i.e would smith do better than morris on the phoenix suns likely--would he do better than Morris on the Knicks probably not.
