So we chose Mardy Collins over Marcus

Mardy Collins? Bleh. Not crazy about this pick after we passed over Marcus Williams.

Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

More perimeter D for the Knicks. Last year they had zero, now they have 2.

Francis had a bad year..
The dude was trade for McGrady for Pete's sake.
I'm sure we could get some value in return for him...

I bet the plan was to take Lowry. He seems like a guy that fits the "dog" description. I would've taken him at 20 but they probably felt with Williams still on the board there was a better shot that Lowry fell to 29. Interesting to see how everything pans out.

Or trading them for Webber.

Portland has the 30 and 31, can we buy one from them? Trade the Q.Rich for a pick + their towel boy?

Mardy Collins from NBADraft.net:

NBA Comparison: Aaron McKie

Strengths: At 6-6 he's got the ability to run the show from the point guard position ... Very smooth offensive abilities ... Plays a controlled game, doesn't try to be too flashy or make spectacular plays, keeps it simple and effective ... Excellent vision and passing ... Shooting mechanics and fundamentals are very good ... Good ball handler ... Long arms help out with closing passing lanes and getting to the rim ... Good defender coming out of the Temple system which emphasizes defense ... Excellent at anticipating passes, ball hawking style ... Great team player, excellent versatility ... Extremely durable player, plays almost 40 minutes every game, and rarely if ever misses a start.

Weaknesses: Never a bigtime scorer, although the Temple system limits him somewhat in that regard ... Shooting %s have never been great from outside, although these numbers get hurt by collapsing defenses and forced shots taken with the shot clock running low ... Lacks a very athletic body, especially on appearance ... Not a very physical player, should use his size advantage better offensively ... Not a huge leaper, lacks great explosiveness or a devastating first step ... Upside is decent, but not off the charts ... One of those guys who is solid in a number of areas, but fails to stand out in any one area ... Must become better at moving without the ball, can be a little too ball dependant ... Free throw shooting is below average ...
Forum Po Po and #33 for a reason...

We get him for trash don't forget that. Value is linked to need and unfortunately, we don't need him. but you're right, the guy is loaded with skills.
