It looks like most of the players he invited to the SL team can shoot.

Sometimes a player just doesn't fit a certain system or is never given ample time to make it into the system. I was high on Almond when he came into the NBA. Lets see what he can do in a free flowing system like the Knicks. Another thing I don't want to read into it but could he be Chandlers replacement in a possible deal?

Posted by Pharzeone:jesus christ quit your bitching. This signing just bought us a free one month pass of no Anthony Randoph posts. An athletic 6'6 shooting guard with a 6'10 wingspan in motion coming off screens? Sounds good to me... all we need now is a PG :) "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs

Hey we gave the bum Roberson a spot last year and I don't think he's in the same galaxy as Almond. Every team needs bench guys that can bring NBA level shooting. Is he any worse than a J. Kapono who really doesn't have any other NBA skill aside from shooting?
He's young and talented and he does what is most important in an MDA player ... SHOOT. His form looks great and in our system if he's camped out at one corner with Gallo on the floor at the same time I can imagine that he should get plenty of open looks. I hope he makes the team. I love 6'6" Pure SG's. |

Like Darko, another no-lose pick-up. Nothing not to like- if he fits we find a gem, if not, he is back in the DL or lands on another team.
One question- What happened with Von Wafer last year was puzzling. Was he just on loan to us for the SL and another team's property, or could we have actually signed him instead of Roberson? I know that he did not have the greatest SL with us, but he ended up playing a big part on a playoff team. Pretty big blunder on our part- or were there some issues we had with him that I was unaware of. No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities- C.N. Bovee

Von Wafer would have been a better option than Roberson clearly... so would Ewing Jr.

Knicks gave Roberson a verbal committment after SL squad practices. MDA had a crush on him for over two years but Colangelo stood in his way. LOL, I wish I was making it up but it is true. Per Donnie and MDA he never missed in practice.
