Mardy Collins is a big guard at 6'-6". He was drafted for his defensive potential.

In 98 career games for us, he's only been given an average of 14.5 minutes a game. Not a lot of time to show what you have. Guards do most of the dribbling and have to get in the groove, to stay lose and that requires a lot of playing time. I still don't think Collins had enough opportunity to develop into something better. I still believe we have not seeing what he has to offer.

I say give him a chance. I believe D'Antoni will give him that chance.

Duhon on the other hand has been in 300 games, averaging 25.8 mpg, with not much to show other than 4.5 apg.

I think Mardy should get the call and it should be in his hands to lose the position.
I'll never trust this' team again.

What do you mean let him prove it ? How many more chances do you want this scrub to get before you realize he's not a vital piece of this team ?

Hey, they gave that total losing scrub curry big minutes, as well as suckbury and Collins only got 14 a game, since he's been a Knick. That's what I mean. And let me remind that there is noting vital about this team right now. Unless you think 23 wins twice' in three years is great! lol

I'll never trust this' team again.

Nothing is vital about this team right now ? Stephon and Jerome James getting ousted means nothing to you ? Chandler, Lee, and Gallo aren't vital either ? It doesn't matter how many minutes Mardy got, the proof is in the pudding. He's been horrific. He's turnover prone in summer league, let alone the regular season. He cannot even create his own shot, let alone making plays for others as a PG. I've seen enough from Collins the past few years, and its enough.

To me, Mardy will forever be remembered as Isiah's sucker punching tramp.

I like Collins. He has a good handle and can get where he wants on the court. He also is solid on defense and creates match up problems for the opposing team. He would be a good change of pace as a backup pg if he can get his jumper to a consistent level. It is clear he has worked on that aspect of his game and his free-throw shooting has improved dramatically. That jumper is the only thing holding him back from being a solid pg. He has the passing skills.
