The kid has great athletic ability, but no post moves. We should sign him. Let him work with Hakem for a few weeks, and then play in the d-league all next year. I think by next season, he could be ready to start contributing as a 10th-11th man with potential to develop into something greater. To say the least, Olajuwon had a very impressive career. After spending two and a half weeks with Amare Stoudemire at Olajuwon's Houston gymnasium additional time and work with Olajuwon will now become part of the Knicks early training camp. http://www.sportsmedia101.com/newyorkknicks/2012/09/26/new-york-knicks-learn-from-hakeem-olajuwon-during-training-camp/ I'm tired,I'm tired, I'm so tired right now......Kristaps Porzingis 1/3/18

![]() I like that the Kid is a Knicks fan. Imagine playing for your favorite team. I know he needs time to still develop, but he is already rebounding and is a large athletic body out there. Bigs take time, we should lock him up for 2 years.
A part of the article that mentions him. http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/knicks/tyler_turning_heads_SrFN4PjmPC82cRdhIGMVxH?utm_medium=rss&utm_content=Knicks
Tyler, who played for the Warriors and Hawks last season, got off to a great start Friday in the Knicks summer league opener against the Pelicans with a 10-point, 11-rebound performance. He started at power forward, played 23 minutes and had five offensive rebounds. The Knicks may re-sign aging Kenyon Martin but there’s a big chance the younger, taller Tyler will be invited to training camp — maybe even with a partial guarantee. Ironically, he grew up a fan in San Diego. “The Knicks have always been my favorite team,’’ Tyler said. “I’d love to be part of the organization. People would say, ‘you’re from San Diego. Why aren’t you a Lakers fan?’’’ After being cut by the Warriors and Hawks, Tyler went to the D-League with Santa Cruz and reached the league championship. Tyler skipped college to play one year in Israel and Japan, and was drafted in the second round by the Warriors. “Business takes over,’’ Tyler said. “Golden State wanted more room for cap space and Atlanta needed the roster spot for a guard, not a big. If I keep playing hard, things will fall into place.’’ The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. Albert Einstein
