With each passing day I lose more and more faith in this front office.

Fisher's peak-a-boo tactics with the youngans has been

Nothing short of disgraceful this yr


Maybe Early will flourish under a real developmental coach in Westchester

I think they should send Wear down. He needs to play and get better. I agree about Early.

I've seen nothing to suggest Early is better than Wear

Nor anything remarkably the other way either


Fisher most certainly hasn't provided them enough paying time

To distinguish one from the other that's for sure


Statistically Wear is better

82games Wear is 1 of only 7 Knicks to


Produce a positive +/- on off court

Ironically the 3 new additions make the Top 7 too


Melo-Amar'e-Pablo are the other players listed

Jason Smith is the worst on the team and by a wide margin


Calderon a close 2nd, Wear also has better floor time stats than Early

This is where advanced stats can be extremely useful to determine

Nothing wrong with Early getting some run in the D League, but his real development is gonna come in the off season when he can really work on his skills. He still needs to get more confident in his dribble so he can drive and do more than just catch and shoot. There are a lot of holes in Early's game. I just can't take all the bitching about Fish as if he's the reason Early is an incomplete player. Dude came in with flaws and he's got to work on his game, get stronger in addition to getting playing time. Just playing alone isn't going to fix all of Early's issues. Can't stand this F'n overly simplistic look at how players are developed. This goes for all of our young players. Blaming Fish in this instance is just stupid.

Declaring picks as HOME RUNS when at best they may be a single

Is probably equally as stupid, especially before they played a real NBA game

Phil Weber is doing a good job with the guys he has so far

We're not running the triangle consistently enough


Than is a very good defender[great size too] but needs to work on his shot

What are you talking about specifically? Why just throw out a random accusation? If we are talking about Early it has to be remembered that he was a pick we didn't even have going into the off season. To get a pick with his kind of potential was a very good thing. Still no pick is a guarantee including 1st rd picks. I Don't see what you could really be getting at. Early needs more time and development. That doesn't mean he can't play better this season, but his overall potential is still ahead of him as it is for most rookies. Once again you can't oversimplify this subject. Everything is relative and you have to put things in perspective. LG is playing well, but that's well for a rookie. He can still improve so his current level is fine for this stage of his career. Wear has shown some flashes, but again he's got more improvements to make in his game. These young guys don't have to perfect everything all in just a few months of their rookie season.

He hasn't looked good, but you're correct

The kid should be licking his chops


I saw some Skyforce guys doing this very thing

That Hopson kid is kinda nice


You saw they're being coached by Phil Weber right
