Like the confidence, and I hope I'm wrong, but he really has show consistency with his shot, or guys around here are going to be screaming.

He's under a "prove yourself" type contract and we aren't paying him much, so I'm not that concerned.

Please prove me wrong, Mr. Wroten.

and that's on offense-- his defense has been well below the league average at the position as well. a knee injury sure doesn't help lateral movement.

Wroten is a good defender.

no he isn't and dollars to donuts you thought afflalo was a good defender too, amiright?

Wroten has the raw physical talent to be a good defender. He's got great recovery speed and fast twitch muscles. He needs to learn how to play team defense but if he can pick up the Knicks schemes he should be a major upgrade on the perimeter.

I literally don't know too many people that watched Philly and maybe his 1 year 35 games in Memphis. How could you tell? Did you watch Wroten that much?

- used to be one of the most athletic player...in the NBA
- cant shoot or go right
- lazy on defense but talent was there
- extremely undisciplined
- turnover machine

Overall = just think of AND1 mixtapes over intelligent basketball. i think the triangle will help discipline him. my only concern with him is whats left of his physical ability

I wonder why players like him do not commit themselves to the defensive side of the ball. Wroten is still young so he may well just do that but if I was him I would try to turn myself into a legit defensive stopper in order to stay in this league.

Honestly, he is the kind of player Thibs could turn into a decent player. As the Bulls coach it seemed like that got a vet min journeyman PG every year and they helped the bulls. Too bad Thibs isn't as good of a communicator like Rambis is.

Afflalo was confident enough to say this team is a playoff team, but since then we know what happened.

We got Gallo for nothing and he's getting close to being an average NBA performer. His Win Share 48 is .080 which is an improvement over his rookie year at .043! He's getting better and looks like he can be a reliable rotation player.

Jerian is showing signs of improvement which bodes well for next year. DWILL at only 24 is also a developing player. I suspect they'll try to bring him back.

I would like them to bring Dwil back at the right price. Gallo is terrible and has to go and I expect he is gone. Jerian can't shoot and MOST players do not recover from that.

Tony Wroten has very little chance of making this rotation. We have no picks this year.

he could be an asset but the is only a tiny chance that it will happen.
