Draft info: Strengths: Super talented shot-blocker posses all that is needed for a great defensive player lateral quickness, explosiveness, long arms, and excellent timing. Feels comfortable facing the basket can hit jump shots from about 16 feet out and has even shown the ability to hit the 3-point shot. Super athletic runs the floor like a gazelle and can hop out the gym with the best of them Above average free throw shooter for someone of his size .... Moves around the lane well and has a feathery touch around the basket .... Has some descent passing ability rarely gets trapped into a double team ..... Biggest thing going for him is that he's a athletic 7-footer who has loads of untapped potential.

and New York isn't stupid like Orlando who often forgot to feed their monster on the post. Melo and Howard is a much more balanced team but, I don't see this happening without Linn as a sweetener.

See that is what I remembered of him coming out of H.S. I just think people get stuck in roles if never asked to do more.

One thing I'd really Chandler to work on (as well as Melo and Stat) are his technical foul calls. Melo was ranked second, Tyson third, and Stat seventh. I know they got some bad calls this season but those techs aren't helping, and at times they have hurt the team.
