Jennings can't carry the squad alone, and other than him, no one on the bench seems like a main stay in the rotation, which makes its hard to find any consistency because you gotta keep playing different guys every game. It's like a box of chocolate with those guys, you never know what your going to get

I'm not sure what the deal with Gary Neal is, but he'd be a nice shooter for the bench.

Maybe also Dorrell Wright?

Not a ton of great options.

Rookies cannot be expected to fix these types of problems. If they do, it is an unlikely surprise.

plenty of time for the team to figure things out. hornacek's rotations were thrown into disarray due to early foul trouble to kp6, i believe. his second foul was committed on an illegal screen, but rose took off too soon, a cardinal sin in the pick and roll. usually kp6 gets early rest, only to come back with the second unit of jennings, oquinn, thomas and holliday.

Those 4 guys aren't going to cut it, even with with rose/melo or Kp with that line up, they just don't seem the least bit sharp on either end. you can't even leave them out there for any stretch, because their so darn inconsistent.

Willy, plummlee or KUZ need to see some serious bench minutes, not token minutes( to see what he can do) or garbage minutes

The biggest disappointment is Lance IMO.

This is a team that could really use the Sheed, Kurt Thomas, Steve Novak, JR Smith bench crew that the 2012-3 Knicks team had.

thomas is playing hurt. kuz needs more time to develop some defensive grit. i don't think you'll see very much of willy or plumlee. also we need more baker.

I wanna see Kuz play more. He's proven he can play. It can't be because of his defense because Thomas and the rest of the team have been terrible so far. I believe Kuz would contribute with no problem with heavier minutes. Willy has experience too. He should also be seeing more minutes.
