The team with more Italy contacts than anyone else let the pick and roll PG slip past them. Still bothers me.
Certainly nice work since then though, especially since Isiah tried to push his way in the door and he's gone through the hip surgery stuff. Knicks almost seem stable now.
Jennings showed very very little in Europe. Add a very immature attitude. Add he's 5'11 and about a 155 pounds. How many NBA players with Jenning's build are successfull players? Its the same reason he passed on AR who he liked a lot also.
The Hill pick was understandable. He was the best college player on the board.
That being said JW those are 100% fair knocks and just as Walsh should be praised fie guys like Fields, etc he's certainly had misses also.
What Walsh does GREAT, and what was totally overlooked with Isiah is Walsh understands how to build a team. Isiah just tried to get better players, and often did, but they were parts that anyone could see would not fit together. Marbury and Francis? Zach and Curry? Idiotic.... Walsh has not only upgraded the talent and loaded the roster with young players with good upside but he's put pieces together that compliment.
Glad we have him
