Happy Anniversary

Not only will Landry Fields keep it up, he will continue to improve. Unlike Toney Douglas, Fields can adapt his skill set to the speedball game or halfcourt sets. Yoots who can learn on the fly are rare. There is a reason Donnie Walsh refused to include Landry in the Denver blockbuster, and you KNOW they asked for him.

Fields is barely in his second season. Tonight he plays the 100th game of his young career.

He can shoot, just not a great shooter from beyond the arc. He skillet is much more suited to play close to the basket.

I think Landry is in the midst of changing the form on his shot. And confidence has been an issue with him this year (fitting in).

I'm willing to wait on him a bit.

Me too, I have no issues with him. But his deer in the headlights look earlier on was wearing thin on me. As long as he tries hard and plays D I'll be happy.

I think you are right...

If the Knicks had a fully healthy roster, Landry would be the backup small fwd if I was running the team. You gotta have baron, shump, Lin and Douglas at the back court rotation. Melo needs a backup that can be productive and allow him to get his minutes down and rest him for clutch time. That should be Landry.
