did, I am eager also, but crawford is the type of player you want in an uptempo offense. He can hit the 3, pass, dribble and go to the hoop, when he wants to that is. We noticed when spotting up craw is deadly from 3, so he is a good fit in an uptempo style, as is ariza. I can't wait until the june draft, for once in a long time, I am awaiting this draft and for obvious reasons..

when Rip makes the HOF like Reggie most likely will, let's talk...until then let's steer clear of saying he's eclipsed him...Rip is imitating Reggie's style of play for now...i think Craw should try & emulate Isiah actually...Ray Allen is a scorer...Craw needs to learn how to become a leader of a team.

Yeah, I am also. One observation or adjustment that Crawf should make, He is as tall and slim as Ray Allan, he needs to study Allan's game and try to emulate him as much as possible. First thing first, he needs to perfect the mid-range shot, once complete, he can extend his shooting distance. Crawff's problem is that he has no clue about his range. When he is on, don't get me wrong, he can knock the 3s down, but after how many games does he get one good shooting night from the 3? Defensively, with his long arms, he can be as good as Hughes,,,,,,,,,

Sorry Diderotn......at least we on the same page.

I just hope that Crawford gets it together next season and really works on focusing on the game rather than his shot. He's got to know what a good shot is. A good scorer is a guy that still gets it done even if he isn't "hot". Ray does that. He could have a bad day and still put 20 on you.....by taking what the defense gives him and staying focused.

Craw has to be the one to step up. He has the talent to be a real force for the Knicks. He can't let Houston come back next year and push him to the bench. Houston has to be looked at as instant offense. A guy they can bring in to get a couple isolations, or come off a few screens to get some cheap points.
