whats his real name?

I think it's Tim Gittens....i gotta make sure....I saw the picture and then I was like cool.....Headache has a crazy handle plus he plays defense.....he's the only one on the tour that plays defense. He calls himself a shotblocker, lol.

thanks i hope its him

I just checked it is him....they got some really good players on the Knicks team.....especially point guards. Frank got his work cut out for him. I guess Isiah wants to apply pressure on Frank to take his game and role serious. Tim Gittens is a player. Andre Barrett is a player. Zack Marbury is a player.

I gotta research more of these guys to see who else is on the roster I haven't noticed.

yea frank is head and shoulder above those players, but one player Barret is good, he is a 4 year collegiate player in the big east, he can ball.. Zach Marbury is garbage...

who gives a **** about point guard! Last time I checked Stephon Marbury was our point guard and averages 40min a game!

Yeah but you still have to have a guy on the roster to step in if something were to happen with Steph. We don't want another Allan Houston, Ewing, Camby, etc type situation where all we see and hear about is can the Knicks win without them. I'm sick of that.

If Steph goes down and lets say Isiah trades Frank then you gotta have your second and third string step up. They should be able to keep the team stable until the main guy gets back. I'm sick of relying on a go to guy.....everyone should be able to contribute.

It doesn't hurt to have these players come in, just to give them a ghost of a shot. We all know that Frank is probably either the best or 2nd best player on that team, (Sweetney being the other guy) and that besides him and Sweets, the only other players that have a chance of making the team are DerMarr, Ariza and that guy Chan. I'm kinda pulling for DerMarr and even Ariza (If we make a move to clear a roster spot.) I'd like to see the Knicks develop them.

I'll drink to that.

true. We need defense and that is a mindset that can't be implemented if your leader (or supposed leader) don't give everything on this side of the court.

It depends on the development of Franky. If Franky develops some more consistancy & confidence with his jumper and cuts down on the TOs a little he would be huge. Lenny would have the confidence to take Marbury out for a solid rest. And Williams has an excellent ability to create ball movement and create rhythem in an offense plus is a very solid defender as well.

I believe Ariza is a guy that we have to keep and we have to develop as he has lottery pick potential in 2yrs. They say he is excellent in finishing in traffic and has crazy body control in the air. As well as being a great defender in college.

Chan has potential & work ethic & is motivated from what I read about him so im hoping he impresses and sticks around.

We're all forgetting that Stephon can pickup minutes at the SG position. So you need a good PG on the court at the same time.
I liked the backcourt where Penny ran the point and Stephon was the SG. It worked against the Nets for a short while in the playoffs.

Frank at the 1 and Steph at the 2 worked better.
