Baron knows how to play in the nba and he can hit a jumpshot. Timofey is a prospect and I don't see D'Antoni playing him. Barron may just be a stop gap but he was a very effective player for the Knicks. I'm tired,I'm tired, I'm so tired right now......Kristaps Porzingis 1/3/18

My thinking is that Timo with some decent minutes will catch on. He's got a bit of a break since there are so few good 7'ers in the NBA anyway. He can kind of float and just be 7'. We know he has the physical gifts and skills to do some NBA level things already, so I don't see how he can't catch on with some time. He'll probably look a bit lost at 1st, but that should improve with time and practice. |

I think two different players. Would like to have both--can use Barron as 4 who cans hit to 5 at times as a big who can shoot the mid range shot/rebound/blok shots/ Also give su the ability to play 2 7 footers at times.
RIP Crushalot😞

Baron doesnt sniff that athleticism. And why are people saying Earl Barron can play in the league? Based on 10 meaningless games at the end of a 50 loss season? Seriously... Mosgov has some pretty impressive tools.

Earl Barron didn't have the defensive presence that the Knicks sorely need. In the 10 games if you guys watched he played very weak defense his help defense was nonexistent and block shots too. Barron was a 7' player in name only. He did hustle and rebounding is all about hustle dove after the ball which was nice to see.

That alone is worth something in the league, but he simply didnt have the phyiscal tools that Mosgov has "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs

Briggs - you didn't pay Mozgov a dime
When Mozgov arrives he deserves the opportunity to fail like any other rookie The Answer Man likes what he sees in the video clips but November ain't here yet. Will Mozgov embrace the opportunity in New York and will Knicks fans embrace him as a young man in a new country? I don't care what Berman or any other hack writes about him to fill space. The scouting reports are out the window. Mozgov starts a new life. The cultural adjustment is one of many that Timofey will need to make quickly. I could care less what his two week paycheck reads so long as he hustles back on defense and understands the prime directive - you suck, you sit. It ain't your money once a knick always a knick

I think he'll be better this season with us than Barron was last season. Barron has NO presence in the pain and isn't intimidating anyone. You want another big, chose one who can defend better than the man you hated...David Lee.
the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between. Bunch of emotionally weak, angst riddled people. I mean, how many times can you argue the same shyt

the odds are good
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

its a rare commodity. There is a reason guys like Dampier and Curry get paid. Athletic 7 footers are like pitchers who can throw 98mph. Someone will always take a chance and if you can hang around long enough someone will always pay.
NBA bigmen flop all the time. Heck I remember how excited (Marv/Jimi/Su phuck off) about Majec Lampe and that summer league he had. I dont know if Mosgov will stick. There are some things that I like very much about his chances to be a good NBA player: Mosgov will go as far as his heart and work ethic will take him. The guy he reminds me of is actually Bogut (and not cause they are both white). Good size and quickness to go with a good skill set. Not great anything but good at everything, and when your 7'0 and good at everything you go somethin there. "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs
