Good player and great mix but I have to question Chandler's mental state. He plays with no emotion. Every highlight in that mix looks like he was forced to play basketball. You can't even call it composure because of how inconsistent he is and he as also stated that he loss confidence many times throughout the season. I feel if Chandler could sit down and talk with a psychologist it could benefit our franchise but mainly Wilson.

There are some players that show emotion and do nothing. Then there are players that let their game do the talking. Wilson lets his game do the talking. Al Houston and Karl Malone were the same way. There are some players that get 2 minutes a game get one dunk in 3 months and want to talk trash. I prefer a player that let's his game do the talking.

Allan Houston and Karl Malone did show emotion in their games albeit very little. Wilson Chandler has NO emotion. I have never even seen him smile after a win or winning streak or a career game. When we hit game winners he sat on the bench and watch while everyone rejoiced. Maybe he hates the Knicks. I don't want a trash talker who gets a good play every 3 months (see Boston Celtics Bill Walker) but I wouldn't mind seeing some passion. Even D'Antoni joked that Wilson Chandler might become a serial killer.

Sit down and talk with a psychologist? Maybe Derrick Rose could join the session.

Dude was mostly a rookie and that was why the inconsistencies showed up. We should let him simmer for another year or 2 before we settle on how he will play.

Not to mention he was taken in and out of the lineup. It's hard to be consistent if you are a start one day and a player off the benched the next. Then you have to factor in he was also asked to play the pf one night and then sg the next. Once Mike D defined Chandler as a starter playing the shooting guard position Chandler finished the season strong.

It's crazy how no one mentions the fact that mike use probably has many line ups as LB contributing to
our players inconsistant play, and constant slumps

the de la song was a better fit imho....

just looking at the clip...what position is this dude. He shows no fear against guys like KG...and he takes apart small fwds not named Lebron, even though he plays him tough....yet he can take shooting guards off the dribble and shoot jumpers in their face from long range...he's started at all 3 positions as a Knick and was very effective.

its a good problem to have but going forward what do the Knicks do? with the presence of Gallo who I think is gonna have a great year next season coming right out the gate...do the Knicks continue to play this cat at shooting guard??? Like I said he doesn't look like a shooting guard but he plays a good one on TV.

A nice problem to have- a guy who can play more than one position.

I think that as far as Gallinari and Chandler go, you should just be looking at minutes played. Get them their 30-40 MPG and play them at the position which suits our strategy against a particular team or at a particular time during the game.

What's the problem? Isn't Gallinari a power forward? He was drafted as one. Supposely 6'10 and still growing if you believe the general manager.
