Agreed. The plan for him is to go to the DL and continue developing. I just hope it works out that way.

Any more than that, and you run the risk of getting Curried, Westbrooked, Pauled, Kyried, Walled, or Lilliard into oblivion.

Let him run his old ass 34 year old legs until they fall off by January. By then, Grant would be closing games at point anyways, and his transition to starter would be a natural progression as a rookie.

Good post. I think that's a very accurate assessment of the situation.

Common sense my bro. It's a point guard driven league. If you don't have adequate play at the 1, you're doomed from the get go.

Even without mentioning the upper echelon, you still got the Tony Parker's, the Kemba Walker's, the Mike Conley's, the Jeff Teague's. If you can't come close to matching their scoring/assist output and/or can't defend the point....you're in for a long ass season.

Precisely my fear for the Knicks. The game starts and ends with the PG position. If your PG can't defend or put pressure on the opposing team On offense,you are doomed. Calderon as I see him, is no longer the capable shot maker he was, because he is older and no longer has the legs. He was never a defender, so that is out of the question. He is ineffective in this system,because it doesn't require for the PG to be ball dominant.

I wish him a great season, because he is already on the roster. However, I am not optimistic

Just a matter of time, really. He may shock all of us for like a month, maybe month and a half.

Then reality and father time sets in....

Certainly not me. His success benefits the Knicks on many level.
