The success of this season's
New York Knicks will rely upon significant contributions from I Man Shumpert, Tim Hardaway Jr, Andrea Bargnani and JR Smith. Would prefer that Hardaway stay in rotation AFTER Smith returns. Barring injury, that will be a delicate balancing act for Woodson.
Not worried about Tyson Chandler, as it appears he is focused and ready to take the lead with the frontcourt defensive effort.
Ron World Peace is the X factor. His shot selection is less important than his passion for winning.
Anything added by Cole Aldrich and (hopefully) Jeremy Tyler is gravy.
If early results tell anything, the collective defensive focus shows positive signs. Turnovers will be cleaned up with repetition.
