Kids are spoiled rotten these days, with their social media, questionable fashion sense, rapping ventures, etc. What Woody is doing is nothing a loving father wouldn't do. T2 has come out and said that his father was so hard on him it strained their relationship. Woody isn't out to get Shump man, come on that's so ****ing retarded. All these conspiracy theories about how Dolan and Woody are devising a plan because he didn't play IN THE SUMMER LEAGUE....and dun dun dun..he's PISSED....LMFAOOO.
His coach sees the potential in him, and unlike most kids these days who are expected to have things handed to them, he's pushing him. Obviously he's not going to do that to veterans, who are who they are. But Iman can be molded.
Nothing he has said about him is WRONG. He DOES overplay on defense. He got LIT UP in the last game. It's not because he's bad on defense, it's because he plays it a certain way sometimes that it burns him.
Watch him on offense. All the guards, even Carmelo, can run a pick and roll effectively. Iman still can't do that. He's doing more and more one on one iso's this pre-season. When he's the only guard on the floor, he needs to learn how to be effective with the ball. Right now, he is the most effective when the plays are helter skelter, meaning off steals, fast breaks, broken plays..but when things are half court and organized, he falls off unless his shooting stroke is on. There's a reason why he shoots at a higher clip from 3 than mid-range and at the rim.
Iman is a young player who the Knicks drafted with lots of potential, but lets not make him out to be some kind of messiah, who can do no wrong.
Go back a few years..when there were trade rumors of KG for Channing Frye...a lot of Knicks fans said no lol. Knicks fans love to ride the dicks of young players and scrubs so hard they don't give the due to the solid veterans that actually gave this franchise success. Shitting on Melo night and day, saying Tyson didn't deserve his DPOY, pissing on Houston throughout his days here, booing Ewing, etc..but God forbid somebody says something critical of a 3rd year player.
