B. He doesn't play D or rebound and his jumper is erratic

Light it once in a while to make posters here believe he's valuable but in reality be a complete failure.

I'm hoping for C, but I'm afraid it will be B. This signing was a mistake.

The money they gave him was a little surprising, considering Scola got 3MM and Gerald Green got virtually nothing. Would have rather gone after those two guys to bolster the bench and slot Scola in as the starter.
Troubling when you can finish that easily and barely grab a rebound. |

Dude certainly is a great finisher. If he can muster the energy to crash the boards, he will be a legit contributor. Too bad that's unlikely. I expect he will be our new JR Smith, but hope I am wrong.

So the only time he gets rebounds is on wide open put back dunks. Doesn't look promising.
Sure hope the NYC nightlife isn't going to contribute to the documented lack of work ethic. Maybe Lance Thomas beats him into a new attitude in camp? |

mreinman wrote:Anthony Randolph 2.0 It's funny but AR might have been saved if he had come up in the Triangle. I think it might have focused him and highlighted his talent. It's weird with the Triangle. It's such a different style of play that guys you wouldn't expect to be good are surprisingly good in this style of ball. I could be wrong but I think Phil has a plan for DWill. That of course doesn't excuse his lack of effort on the boards and D. That's not going to be acceptable. Regardless of any success he might have on O he needs to improve his effort level on the other end. |

He will be an expensive THJ
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

Regardless of what we think of him the Knicks overpaid.
Classic Knicks bidding against themselves. Who were they competing with? |

The point i'm making is that there are certain types of players that will do better in this style of basketball than they might in other styles or systems. Obviously some players will falter in this style of ball. We know that all too well. Generally really good players will do well. Players that have well rounded skills and BB IQ will usually do well. On the whole we had low BB IQ players who weren't right for this system or resistant to it. We hope that things will be better this year and that the new additions will take to the system well. We do know that Phil was targeting players who he feels have the right mix of talent and BB IQ to do well in this system. We may need time to see how they all adapt to the system once they learn it and have time to work on the footwork and timing in the system. It may not be an immediate success. It's not that kind of process. KP It will be interesting to see how these players adapt to the system. Which guys will do well and who ends up not being able to adapt and thrive. I think Phil did a good job of trying to find players who have skills that should mesh well with this style of play. Still there are no guarantees. DWill is the one that people are most skeptical of. I can see what he's liking about him tho. Perhaps having a clear role with less "just winging it" aspect to his game will help him. He does a great job of finding the open spaces on offense and can get off his shots, layups and dunks in traffic which is a good thing given this isn't a 4 out 1 in style of ball. There are going to be bodies around him. That doesn't seem to bother him at all. He attacks just as aggressively in traffic, but he also can attack early before things get clogged up with bodies. He finds lanes to get all the way to to rim and finish strong. |

I think he'll be similar to Al Harrington here. Some moments of brilliance. Some moments of painful awfulness.
I hope he can pull it together, but I'm not really banking on it. Luckily, I don't think the Knicks need to bank on it either. I think it's a pretty low risk move. ¿ △ ?
