I am not complaining about the kid, because I know that he can ball. I am just concerned because we all know that If Larry is the coach one of the thing that he will preach is: sharing the ball. We have too many individualists in our team. Marb has collected clost to 10 assists, but folks still want to get rid of him because they claim that he doesn't make his team mates better. What the Knicks really need out of a backup PG is a guy that can really run the team. I appreciate guys like Nate that is a freakish athlete....I have yet to see him play the game especially with the current squad, therefore I am a little reserved about what he can offer us.
Dide, whats wrong? Excitement at the Garden is just something that we've lacked for so many years! Nate dunking is great, but you don't see us only talking about his ablilty to dunk, we also have talked about how great he has been getting assists, making this summer league team look like that, a team. He is a great player, has good fundamentals along with excitement. Didin't you see in the video how he saw his mate posting up, shooting and all the guys positioning for the rebound and how quickly he moved to get the offensive rebound, thus creating the chance for the dunk? That was great!
Nate is not a pass first point. He is a shooting guard. He will learn that he can penetrate, but must see the floor better and dump it out for the open man.
other than Camby, and of late Reezy, we have had very few athletes on the roster capable of playing above the rim. Dido, its just fun, but your right, wins over dunks anyday! But for now, Dunks will have to do!
