BOISE, Idaho — Pierre Jackson set an NBA Development League record when he scored 58 points in Idaho's 136-122 victory over the Texas Legends on Tuesday night. Jackson was 24 for 33 from the field, including a 7-for-13 performance from 3-point range. He also had eight assists and six rebounds. The previous scoring record of 53 points was set by Morris Almond in 2008 and matched by Will Conroy in 2009. It was Jackson's seventh game this season with 40 or more points. He is averaging an NBDL-best 30.2 points.
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

We need someone who can break defenses down off the dribble. No good vet is available on the cheap.

Almond and Conroy were great talents, but Almond didn't have much upstairs from what I remember. What have we got to lose? Where are we going with Felton? At this point, we better grab the best available talent we can, but I'm not so sure we can even trade a 2nd for this kid.

Knicks need to grab this guy. I think some here are selling the dleague short. The league has grown and is being used more by teams to develop and rehab players. Also, young guys are choosing it as opposed to going to Europe. This kid is often compared to Isiah Thomas. Maybe there is some height discrimintation going on because he seems like he is at least worth being signed. The last kid that lit up the league was picked up by the Lakers and has done very well there. Not sure what the Knicks have to lose by taking a chance on kid that obviously talented.

Honestly have no idea what we're waiting for.
A couple more games like this, only natural for the price to continue to climb -- pretty soon we might be talking a 1st rounder minimum. We're absolute morons if we never looked into trading for this kid. Case closed. |

I think the Knicks would have to trade a pick to get him or take another player back from them that they don't want to get his rights.

He reminds me a little of Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf (formerly Chris Jackson).

I really liked him, I certainly would have acquired him if I had any PULL in Knick's GM and would have NEVER signed Pablo or MWP with the 3M
