Im asking if fans would like Stein top 4--what is wrong with that? I dont get it? Either answer or pass--not a big deal?
Nothing wrong with the question since it's being pushed in the media. Straight answer; No. WCS is clearly a limited player, even after spending 3 years at UK. The clear choice is Okafor.

i've seen okafor play a few times now. i have questions about his conditioning and his motor and his quickness. that has a direct impact on his ability to defend on the professional level where everyone is a bigger and stronger. in the nba you can't afford to be a liability or even average and expect to help your team win. on the offensive end he seems to lack the ability to elevate which may well mean that he can be neutralized effectively, made less efficient by less than defensively elite big men.
i look forward to seeing him play this evening and would like to be proven wrong since the knicks need to have choices. i mention choices because the default position for many so-called knicks fans seems to be to acquire talent regardless of fit. that would be a grave mistake and i am happy to have read that phil jackson looks more for fit and defense.
knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%
