Assuming there's no spike in his athletic ability from the back surgery, I just don't see what he brings, especially in his minutes are significant. Does he get hot from 3 territory on occasion? Sure. But he can't finish around the hoop (b/c his vertical is = to what it takes to clear the Sunday NY Post), has no mid game, passes adequately, hasn't blocked a shot since he was a Blue Demon. Does he work hard? Yes. Does he have some nights where that hard work translates to a solid defensive outing? Yes. But he just doesn't put his stamp on the game the way Balkman can. That's why, once he's healthy, Balk should get 25 minutes & let Q fight for the remaining 23 with Lee (when he isn't a PF), JJ2 (not a huge challenge) and even Chandler (if he shows enough polish).

i don't see where q fits either. isiah's married to a starting backcourt of marbury + jamal so quentin at the 3 isn't gonna work. he's gonna play him tho so he should probably be the backup sg.

If Chandler can't play the three right away than Q is the one guy that can play the position and provide us with outside shooting. He also gives us some stability and leadership. We can't sell those qualities short.
I just hope that people will like me

Q Rich is the SF version of Malik Rose (albiet w/ a long distance set shot).

Malik
Q
Craf
Marbs

All this guys are versions of each other at their positions. Something there and some more things missing.

he brings all of those intangibles that we haven't seen in a knick uniform in a long time. things like heart and desire.

....he's like Clarence W'Spoon at SF (ineffective, short, slow, carries too much weight....but hey, he's a good guy & works hard).

How do people watch Q(when he's healthy) and say he is ineffective. I we talking about Q Richardson or Q Woods?
I just hope that people will like me

IMO, we could use more guys that have Q's work ethic, attitude and skillset. Outside of his health concerns (I'm not too trusting of that back either - fixed or not), I don't see how he's such a hindrance.

A healthy QRich is valuable, he'd probably average 20 plus a night if he was a big choice on offense and get some boards. He'll play some forward and some big guard, he's has multiple uses.

Is this a serious conversation being had? Q is being compared to Clarence Weatherspoon and Malik Rose?

Ok, I was half kidding with the Rose/Spoon comparisons. But I don't believe Q will ever really be healthy again. And as a result, I believe him to be below par athletically. I would rather see a game changer like Balk get the starting nod.

Q's health is always a serious question. Whether Q or Balkman should start is not. Last year he averaged 13/7/2 and shot 37.6% from downtown while playing tough defense for us - he was always guarding the opposing team's best player. He's shown in the past he's capable of more than that - so the ONLY question is his health.

And can't finish around the hoop? Q is a special talent because he can shoot the three very well and has a back to the basket game.

Q brings leadership, defense, perimeter shooting, postup scoring ability... i'd say those are enough reasons to want to hold onto a guy like that.

You wanna reduce the minutes of one of the few guys on the team that has the lowest turnover ratio?

q is not gonna have a fully healthy season ever again. bad back ensures that. he should play 30 mins or less if he wants to stay consistently in the rotation imho.
