There is nothing wrong with a rookie who is not going to make an immeadiate impact to sit half a season then get his chance.

This team, this season already has put Gallo and wilson as the future and they are performing.

IM pleased with what MDA is doing. fans want to see results right away. He is working his rooks along slowly. Big woopy.

Im soooo sorry Larry Hughes has been offended.

I hope we can move JJ's contract. The dude is a good role player and a big reason our team playing well.

I think before we start Hill lets give him 15-18 a nite and see him grow into it. A weak cog can stifle the developement of others.

Walk before we run. I doubt Hill is the missing link here. Be nice if we catch lighting in a bottle but I think our coaches would have picked that up if Hill was that good.

He played 79 Games in the 93-94 Season as a rookie.

hmmm weird, could have sworn that's what one of the commentators said. Oh well.

Maybe they were commenting on how he sat all but 15 games of his final season as a Knick.

Did Hill play better D on Charlie V than JJ or did Charlie V just miss when guarded by Hill? I couldn't tell.

Sometimes when JJ is on the court it seems like he is trying to cover for other guys just a bit too much. Not that you can overly fault the guy cause it's necessary.

no, charlie V was having to change his shot and threw up some forced bricks.... against jeffries,he was able to back him in the lane and just shoot over him. with Hill, that was not the case... I understand jeffries covers a lot on defense, but I saw a couple of plays where he was just overwhelmed in the post...

since you've never flip flopped on anything douchebag?

He's a rookie and a guy that was clearly LOST early. I fully trust MDA in wanting to get the kid more mentally prepared to play on this level. Think about it, Hill is being groomed to take on a MAJOR role for this team!

i'm the most consistent poster on this forum... i've flip flopped on Marbury & Isiah, as did most of the posters on this forum... i don't remember ever flip flopping on anything else... if u do let me know douchebag.

flip flopping implies that you irrationally switch positions. as circumstance changes, a person's opinions should be reevaluated. when the knicks were tearing it up, surging in december, no, hill shouldn't play. a few more losses and it's over-- you gotta give it up to hill.

and flip flopping on isiah and marbury? i think that was pretty clear-cut since day1 of both of their knick careers.

plenty of Knicks fans were optimistic when Isiah took over... there were very few naysayers & they all got bashed for doing so, islesfan was labelled a troll by many for standing up for his beliefs & turns out he was right all along... after so many years of Layden's idiotic management of the roster people were desperate for anyone to come in & be the savior... when the Marbury trade was made this team actually started to play very good basketball... then Isiah made the TT trade & it was all downhill from there... people were well within their rights to hate on the Marbury trade as well, but i was optimistic... i was wrong on both counts & i own up to being wrong... i don't pretend like i knew everything was gonna turn out the way it did or try & double talk & come up with excuses for why they didn't... no one's right all the time, just man up to being wrong if you are.

yea, i hear what you're saying, and i understand the optimism you felt. but i never really thought it would amount to much; just a hunch i had ;)
