Does anyone in the NBA shoot the floater as often as Fredette (?)

I think they might have been waiting for the trade deadline to see if they can trade for a guard and if they can't then we might see Jimmer or Wroten. |

Any NBA point guard who is effective in the paint has that shot in their repertoire. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

Why can't Carmelo simply tell Phil and Mills to give this dude a shot? Would it be too much to ask??? We already have the open spot and the area of need is PG/SG
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

There's a certain kind of "energy" about it that seems like something that you can't learn. It seems like only born shooters . . . are comfortable throwing that up on a regular basis. I don't know -- just an impression it gives me . . . |

I'm hoping that maybe it was Fisher that was blocking the move . . . trying to protect his investment in Grant. Because if my life depended on the play of Fredette or Grant . . . it would be a complete no-brainer which I'd choose. To me it's a mystery why Grant continues in the NBA . . . when Fredette is available. |

I think the Knicks have more hope that Grant can become a good 2 way guard despite his shaky rookie season. Jimmer will never achieve that level of being good on both ends. There are no guarantees that Jimmer's success in DL will translate to the NBA enough to make a difference. I personally would take a chance but it must say something that the Knicks never brought Jimmer up. We'll see what they do after the Deadline. |

Jimmer IS a bit of fool's gold, but a lot of teams have guys that get DNP's for the whole year. That being said at the very very very very least I'd want a mostly DNP guy to shoot 92% from the FT line. I know that isn't much, but in the world of last guys on the bench a guy who can come in no question or warm-up needed and save and occasional game is really awesome. I think he can be more than that, but he also isn't more that a heat check guy IMO, which can really help us. He galvanizes the crowd and his team. Even the D-league guys he never plays with seemed to respond.

He has been surprising me with awesome passes like the new and improved Melo. Are you kidding me, since melo tripped over the ref and we went back to more than a 9 man rotation, sasha entered the rotation and we have lost 10 of 11. prior to that we were @500. so how is he not the problem ES

Sasha has no right to be in the NBA right now. A Jimmer/Sasha swap seems like common sense to me.

Lin was a guy that wasn't on the radar and took advantage every time he was given an opportunity (i.e. the Wall summer league game) and later Linsanity. Jimmer has had opportunities in the nba. He has played over 3000 minutes in the league, and was a lottery pick. Hopefully he has figured out what he needs to do to stick and be successful.Knicks1969 wrote:How is Lin different than fredette?

What i'm saying is people on here see a guy and i'm not just talking about Jimmer but they see a guy playing great in the d-league and then there's a thread on here about how we need to sign that guy like he's gonna do in the NBA what he's doing in the d-league which just isn't possible. Maybe i shouldn't say it's not possible cause of course it's always possible but it's still not gonna happen. I still want Jimmer to get a shot or T.Wroten but people shouldn't expect so much from a player by going on what they see that player doing in the d-league. |
