I would've rather seen Wroten, but hey give him a ten day contract and see where it goes. Maybe turn to Wroten if Jimmer bombs after ten days.

Why not sign both Frazier and Jimmer. There is so much dead weight on the roster; don't understand why they can't just release a player.

It's just another case of the triangle limiting our options. They went with the guy who has been playing in the system. I would actually like to see Jimmer get some playing time now that he is getting the audition.

IMO, Wroten and Frazier should both be signed with the intention of developing them for possibly a roster spot next year. Wroten has already proven himself and all you do is hear positive things about Frazier.

How? How has Wroten proven himself?

Wroten definitely has not proven himself, but then again, neither has Jimmer. I would like to see us open up one more roster spot and give another guard a shot at proving themselves. A little competition isn't a bad thing. This kid Frazier is also looking like a great locker room guy and he can play. It's not like the triangle needs a superstar guard.

Averaging 16 points for an entire season is not in some way proving yourself? He needs to work on his shot but he's proven he can slash and score.

Also, I've said it before in another thread, if you give Jimmer Jose's minutes, he would easily average close to 15 points a game and be productive offensively. The only issue is his defense, but it cannot be any worse than a 34 year old Calderon.

he has to earned minutes, thats the bottom line

Isola just lives to trash the Knicks. Thing that bothers me isn't that he doesn't have some points but how about a little bit of balance? He NEVER presents the other side or brings up any possible positive aspect of what the team does.

In any event Jimmer makes sense because he's been playing in the system for months and given how few remaining games there are it does makes some sense to go with a guard that you've been watching closely for months. A kid like Frazier would have no chance IMO. He may have some ability but the learning curve would kill him and I think Wroten would face a similar hill to climb. Not to mention that Wroten hasn't been playing. Based on the timing I think this was the logical move. This also helps the W Knicks players to believe there's hope if they keep working hard!!! Lets hope he has a break out performance and helps the team during this final stretch.

Isola doesn't usually go after Begley.

Yeah this guy is something else. Plus he's wrong in that there will remain interest in Jimmer and if he does actually play well that will lead to more stories. Isola, some media guys and some fans are so convinced this is a bad team. They can't imagine that the Knicks could go on a run. It's not impossible as they try to make it sound. Any team that has lost as many super close games has a chance to go on a run if they get rolling.
