Sometimes younger players aren't ready to crack the rotation but they're good enough to push the vets in practice.

He's the kind of kid that should play better in the NBA as he spreads his wings more. He doesn't try to do too much and sticks to what he's great at as opposed to forcing things.

Larkin I think is gonna have to get stronger, but his speed is an asset. He makes good use of it. He played some NBA games and did well.

Cole should have a breakout year with more minutes this year. He should finally get a chance to show what he can do.

Thanasis is raw but love his energy. He's gonna be a beast defensively and that's really all I care about at this point.

Yes cole will have a break out year this kid is a big upgrade to Tyson over rated chandler.. He's a rebounding, shot blocking machine,great passer, high bball iq, cole is the best center on the roster hands down. He'll be the talk of the town!

Thjr is a all star in the making nuf said!

Early was the best pick up in the trade .. He can really shoot and defend Clyde called him b king the other day!!!

The Greek should stay he's a great defender and elevates everyone's defense when he's on the floor! You can't teach that

Knicks are on the up and up

Its these silly expectation from knick fans that make it so hard for the kids to succeed here.

He's not 5'11 And that may be a problem because teams will go at him every time. Same with Pablo and Calderon, because they are not known for defense. Ii looks like our weakness is the same as last year....PG and Center....

Larkin is in fact measured to be 5-10.25 without shoes and 5-11.5 in shoes. They had no reason to lie at the combine so despite how he may look to you, that is his exact measurement. He's legitimately fast and legitimately had a 44" vert. He's clearly more talented than Pablo physically. Larkin gets steals and he's fast on the break. He's just not a tall, physical or long PG. This is why they project him as a backup PG.

PG and Center are not going to be weaknesses this year. You seem to have no concept of how the Triangle works if you think PG is gonna be a problem. There are very few good defensive PG's and thank goodness the triangle isn't PG dependent. You can play with a guard like Shump if you need defense. The PG doesn't really do much in the offense in terms of handling the ball. We may not be world beaters at Center but we have bigs that should be able to hand in there. We just don't have anyone special, which is only going to be addressed at the earliest at the trade deadline most likely.

Dude are you even a knick fan? Every post from you is negative ... You were prob on the heat bandwagon why don't you go root for the cavs and be really disappointed... I'm excited we fixed a lot of holes on this roster... If you hate everyone on this team then get the hell off this site and find a cavs or nets forum to bitch and be a Debbie downer

You are just a bit insane but its cool.

Did I say that I hated anyone?

Does that mean that I am dumb enough to call THJ the next reggie miller and Cole a 12/12 guy?

reign in your silly expectations and hope that some of our kids can be good "rotation" players.

Player lol that's like saying chandler is a great team player... Thjr can stroke it like Reggie his release reminds me of Reggie.. He had a very similar rookie year to Reggie .. Reggie wasn't a good defender or rebounder till later in his career .. Just like thjr.. I'm not saying his career is going to be like Reggie's but I wouldn't be shocked if it did.. Thjr is going to be our 6 th man this year he'll average Reggie like numbers for his second year 16+ points 3 Rebs-2-3 assists ... But I don't know too much I've just been watching and playing bball since 1983 ...

Also cole Aldrich is the man I've been following this kid since his days in Kansas .. Big man take time to develop he was the best rebounding shot blocking defensive center in college.. It's his time to shine .. He averaged a double double when he got real playing time last year and it seems to have carried over into summer league... But again I don't know anything I've only been watching bball since 1983..

I can tell you thjr will be on a few all star teams mark my words
I can tell you cole Aldrich will break out this year and be the talk of the town
I always thought Tyson chandler was one of the most over rated players In the nba
And I feel the same way about the bird man wayyyyy over rated anyone who can't shoot or dribble and only averages 5 points and 6 rebounds a game is not a good player.. It's called a scrub getting minutes,just like Tyson

oy vey!

I give up.
