Yeah he didn't look good last night but what the heck do some of you expect? The guy sees a few sporadic mins once every full moon...How sharp do some of you expect him to look under conditions like that??
Also as far as the rules go, I understand players with more than 2 years of service are protected from being banished to the D-League at will, but I'd be willing to bet any player with 3 years or more can easily waive that protection and accept an assignment to the NBDL if that particular player were to be convinced it was the right move for him..At this point for a guy like AR and even from the Knicks' standpoint, I think this could be a beneficial move for both parties..It wouldn't surprise me at all if something like this could be worked out if AR agreed to it..It's the Knicks who make something like this difficult -- they're the one's who don't believe it's the proper thing to do..Look at Andy Rautins (who I thought looked pretty decent last night in his couple of mins btw)..Maybe that's a bad example, with Ray and Douglas esp. not at 100%..At least they have Rautins in uniform for these games now..
why are we looking at Andy Rautins... he hasn't gone to the DLeague at all.
Here is why the Knicks are NOT sending guys to the DLeague (amongst other reasons): it would just be just pickup games during the summer. The Knicks don't have a complete affiliation (it's shared), which means they have NOT sent the coaches or staff to the team, which suggests that they have ZERO control over what is being taught to whomever would be assigned. What good would that do AR?
He would just go back to his old habits and score like 30PPG and collect 20rpg against inferior talent.... and then what? Still come back with the bad habits and not knowing the system any better.
