The stubborn stone the mason hacks away at

Other that watching Shump's ball handling, Hardaway's shot and CJ Leslie's motor... the most compelling story of Las Vegas is Jeremy Tyler's willingness to listen and learn.

"Jeremy Tyler was rowdy as hell. He snaggled rebounds like a fiend and may have actually bitten somebody while playing help defense (five fouls in 23 minutes). His early offense was wild-- like he'd just learned a bunch of moves and was testing all of them all at once-- but he moved well in the open floor and got some buckets later on just by scrapping for inside position and easy put-backs."

- Seth Rosenthal

Tyler looks good out there. Raw as hell, but definitely worth a camp invite. Good size, good athleticism, good tenacity rebounding, just lacks the polish in his overall game.

Good Tyson Chandler insurance. Sign him up Grunny! (2 years please)

Tyler needs to head down to Hakeem's home with Amare and work out this summer, except he needs to stay for a few weeks. 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.

Its too bad Zo doesn't have a camp. Tyler reminded me a bit of a young Zo just forcing things with his aggressiveness and energy.

I think he actually might be even more coordinated than Zo, but obviously, he does not have Zo's polished offensive game (even though Zo was not the most gifted offensive center). I actually was hoping the Knicks drafted Tyler two(?) years ago when he was drafted(I am glad we didn't now). I think he just needs a coaching staff committed to developing him. Given the fact that we have traded away our draft picks for like the next decade, investing in Tyler (who could develop into a quality big man) would be a wise move by the Knicks. But they need to send him to the d-league to get some run. He simply is not ready right now.

Does Hakeem offer scholarships for D-Leaguers?

I see things a little different. I see the kid as ready to play right now. Huss problem is patience....he has a ttonsin of moves but he's doing them unnecessarily. If he took his time he would be a monster. I think he us ready to be in an nba roster now. The knicks can't let this kid go. He needs polish yes but he's not raw at all.....

Aj Mathews and that other big guy is raw. Jeremy Tyler is going to be special but he needs veteran leadership and possibly a mentor like A'mare to get Huss mind focused. Knicks can't let him go man

Hakeem does this as a favor for Woodson and for like $50-$100K (I forgot the exact amount). If the Knicks paid, I am pretty sure Hakeem would work with him for a few weeks.

Is Hakeem the only former player/coach who can teach a big how to play? The Knicks should have a big man coach. or get another one who can teach/coach.

We still have Larry Johnson floating around. His awareness in the post ranked up there with the Hakeems and the McHales of the world.

that would be called Herb Williams! He's the big man coach.

mark aguirre I think worked with the post players when he was here with Isiah.

But yea, it seems that an organization that has spent as much as the knicks in the past on salary cap taxes, etc- that we could afford to have more/better staff on hand to work with the players.

Didn't Hakeem work with the Knicks in training camp last year?

I don't remember reading or seeing anything to that effect. I thought he just worked out privately with Amar'e and then Chandler was also supposed to see him.

He did work with them in training camp.
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.

Chris Broussard of ESPN.com reports Olajuwon will expects to work with the Knicks big men.

I remember watching Tyler when he was at GS. I think he started for a stretch or two but never clocked many minutes due to foul trouble and, most of the time, just being outplayed. He showed plenty of promise, esp. offensively but . . . he was not a smart player. He didn't know what he was doing on defense and on offense, even when he was working with the flow of the team, he made bad decisions. There were a few times when Curry tried to get him going but he just seemed lost on the court. I remember thinking "Well, maybe he'll figure it out in D league and GS will get some payoff from sticking with him." but apparently, he's still a project, at best. I'd be pleasantly surprised if it works out with the Knicks for him.

Tyler has good agility, which is very important if you're going to learn Hakeem's moves. Knicks have to stop with this idea that they have to have 10 million vets just to compete. Nothing wrong with getting some young studs in there and letting them learn on the NBA level. They don't have to spend the entire time in D League. I believe practicing with NBA level competition helps young players too.

Co sign....

Kid needs mentorship and time to learn the game from vets not from the d-league. Huss problem is learning how to be a pro. The knicks have plenty of vets to take him under their wing A'mare is one of them. I think A'mare is a flake but i think Jeremy would learn Alot from his experience. A'mare if anything is usually a consummate professional. The focus and work ethic will be a great influence on a 22 year old trying to figure out the nba game.

I want thus kid on our bench. He might not be ready right now but through practice he could be ready later on in the year. We definitely need him around when the roster is flipped in 2 years

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


LAS VEGAS — The Knicks need a banger up front to contend with the Pacers’ Roy Hibbert. The 6-foot-10, 260-pound Jeremy Tyler is trying to prove he’s the guy.

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.’’

if Tyler can play D he could easily star in the small ball units. Set screens, roll, finish, and rebound. That should be his duties this year then next year add a jump hook or two. After that a jumper.
