If he continues to develop and get in top shape he's a solid role player. He showed good IQ, rebounding, range on his shot, a little low post game and smart team D. That's fine for 10-15 mins a game.
you are crazy, we have plenty of holes on our roster. Our players are made up of mainly one way players, with one skill set.
Look and compare rosters, even with a crappy Toronto team, they have multiple players that have multiple skill sets.
We have 1 shot blocker in TC, good rebounder, good big man, but he is an offensive liability. We literally have no other legit blocker.
Jeffries is not a stat player, he is a good defender, but he is not a good rebounder/shot blocker/ post presence, or a shooter.
1 PG, that can penetrate of the dribble that can create for others in Lin. NO backup PG.
NO SG's with JR Smith not signed. Fields is not a SG, TD is not a PG but that doesnt make him a SG either, Iman is hurt and won't be back for awhile.
We have 1 post player in Melo, but do not have the shooters to space him out. Look at how many shooters every team has, how many can put up 4 legit shooters and play their positions to spread the floor and still have shooters on their bench.
Novak is not a stretch 4, he is a great shooter that has no other skill, and is not a good defender. Mike Miller has a much better all round game than him with good size/athletisicm
and he is nothing more than a shooter. He is not a stretch 4, and neither is Novak. That is the position we put him in because that is the one he can defend the best with TC's help.
We have a bunch of names that do fit well together. It is what is, but we need to get role players that can fit make these players fit. They are a waste of roster spots, if the roster stays intact, Papa Bear is correct, we will go nowhere. It is one thing to be optimistic and another to be unrealistic. Stop lying to yourself, stop lying to us.
You swear Dantoni LOVED Novak and Lin, during the draft, yet Lin didn't get a shot to play while I was screaming for him to play with a few others.
Dantoni kept complaining about how he had bad PG play and played the same players for the whole month except for Lin and barely playing Novak when we couldn't buy a 3pointer.
Yet you support Dantoni, saying "he will play Lin, when he feels confident"
"We as fans think we know better than Dantoni, blah blah blah,"
It wasn't till Grunweld was about to cut him for Mike James did Lin break out and Dantoni was smiling .
He clearly never had faith in him and gave him a thought of giving him a chance to play.
You keep defending all the Knicks poor decisions with the coaches and GM. You are very optimistic, to a point where you are in denial or blind.
Sorry, I am harsh, but I am blunt and real...
