For good measure, here is 4 preseason stat lines: http://espn.go.com/nba/player/gamelog/_/id/3063982/maurice-daly-ndour. 2-13 from 3point land, not too many rebounds, averaged about 22 minutes across 4 preseason games.

6'9" SF who is too slow? 6'9" PF on a roster with an abundance of guys who can play PF already?

What you got?

Easy, Seraphin.

With Seraphin out you are down to 2 big bodies: Rolo, KOQ. Both of those guys will miss like 10 games this year, you would be really thin at C

I would have to agree with this. I really liked Ndour and I was kinda bummed he didn't make the team, but at this point I'm not ready to cut Seraphin at all.

Rookie wrote:You can post whatever stats you want on NDour with the Mavs, the real question is what do you want in a 15th man on this roster. You want someone who plays with energy, will be ready if called upon to fill a role and someone who is a good locker room guy. NDour is all of those things from what I saw from him in SL. TA seems to have a little chip on his shoulder, the same type of chip another player we had that really wasn't very good but got a roster spot he didn't deserve. Chris Smith had a sense of entitlement and it was a cancer to our team. I haven't seen enough of TA to make that same statement, but I do not think he deserves a roster spot and I don't really like his attitude which to me smells of entitlement. I would rather have NDour as the 15th man.

I'd rather have Ndour than Lance Thomas. I'd love to have Ndour AND TA.

I second that. He's a ball stopper who is sketchy in the post. My kid's a Wizzy fan and he wasn't one bit upset when they didn't sign Seraphin. Dude's not good enough. Rather have NDour.

I agree. I think if he plays in the d league he plays in Dallas though because they gave him 500,000 in guaranteed salary. The Knicks would probably have to use their 15th spot on the roster for him and then could send him to Westchester.

Yes . I wonder if that's why we are giving lance Thomas a extended look. To see if he is worthy of the 15 th man

I wonder if this development aids the Knicks in reacquiring him. Of course, never wanna see a guy hurt himself (hope it's not too serious), but I wonder now if this leg thing is serious enough where several things happen: the Mavs cut him, he doesn't get several offers (maybe in the NBA, definitely in Europe) that I'm sure he would've gotten if he was 100% healthy, and he ends up with us in Westchester.

Why wouldn't they just reassign him to their D-league? Some gets injured, you bring him up.

If you go by the thread title (Tim MacMahon's opinion), it sounds like they're leaning toward cutting him anyway. I'm presuming this leg injury may make that decision even easier for them. Could benefit us--other teams, NBA and Euro, may stay away now because he's hurt. This injury, depending on the severity, may limit his opportunities. If he's indeed cut, I'd like to see us immediately pick him up for Westchester, hurt and all. We then stash, rehab and develop an intriguing young player that we found and have liked all along. I wouldn't be too upset to see things work out like that. Let's see.

Do we even need him? We're stacked with 3/4 guys. We shouldn't even be talking about him.

As some pointed out we are thin at center, and I'll add were thin at shooting guard unless you believe in Thanasis.

N'dour Might not even be in the league this year due to injury.

Bye

Heres a question....If we are thin at center, why start two centers?

Ndour was great during the summer league. He also reminds me of LINSANITY. When the knicks help you go from nothing to something and you turn your back on us.....I believe Dolan and Phil will just sit back and watch his career deteriorate. Its a lesson for all knick players that try to come here just to boost their value and leave.

On top of all that.....like spree said. We are already deep at the 3/4 position. Who do you cut? Lance and Amundson are the coaches favorite puppet. Outside of them theres nobody else to cut....especially for an injured player struggling to make the team when healthy.
