Suckssss!!!! He is the guy that Reichert said has the best chance to make it and stay in the nba this year from the d l. He is 6'7 shoots the three at a very high rate (over 50% I believe) and is supposed to have improved his d a lot. Waiting for ten day contracts could come back to bite the Knicks. This guy already had an elite nba skill. With his size and improved d he seems like a lock to stick and would have had a role on the knicks in my opinion.

Knicks don't really need a sharpshooting SG though, do they? Seems like he would be behind AA and Gallo?

Knicks need a penetrating PG.

Knicks philosophy, and basic Triangle philosophy, is that they get their penetration by the pass not the dribble.

Adding shooting would help them create space inside or give kick out options to Melo or Afflalo or KP in the post...

I think they need a penetrating PG, but I worry they won't get one because of the Triangle philosophy.

Is this a solid rule? Chicago and Lakers sure had some guards who could break down their man at will. I think it's well understood that the Triangle doesn't need a traditional PG that holds the ball a majority of the time but it sure needs a player or 2 that can break down player and pass.

The 76ers haven't had a player older than 25 step on the court this season. Luc Mbah a Moute, now with the Los Angeles Clippers, is the only player older than 27 to appear in at least 20 games the past two seasons. Nearly three dozen NBA players have appeared in more career games than the combined total of the 12 players who have played for Philadelphia this season.Carl Landry is the team's oldest player at 32 but he has yet to make his season debut, putting too much pressure on Brett Brown and his coaching staff to teach the kids what it takes to be professional.

Yes this. And it's to the heart of why you need guys like Lou and Lance and Jose on the team. I absolutely hate the play of Jose but know the value he can bring long term, may not translate on the court but I am almost 100% assured that it will pay off for the likes of Gallo, Grant, etc.

I don't know WTF is going on with Sasha LOL

I would trade sasha to philly to help those poor needy kids.

Very impressed with his movement around the court. Lateral quickness is still so-so but better than it seemed to be in college, and he was moving around like a SF on the offensive end...cutting to the basket and putting himself into position for open 3s.

Still believe that he will eventually be a very good player in the NBA...Not sure if he ends sup being a 4 or 5 but he looked a lot better than his season's stats would indicate.

If you saw him against Boston and was not told how many years he had been in the league you would have thought that he was a 3/4 year veteran.

Folks who dismiss him or think he was a reach at 9 are going to be surprised.

This draft is loaded with potential. On any given night, majority of the 1st rounders can put up similar stats once in a while. But I think majority believe he will be a solid pro.....Just has a short ceiling. And don't forget, he's a 4 year senior, with a mature game.....So I'm not surprised.

For the last three seasons, Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick Young has played with Kobe Bryant for a total of 451 minutes. Injuries have come into play for both players but for those seven hours and 31 minutes they have played together, Young has never thrown an assist to Bryant.

Not one time.

But that drought finally came to an end against the Houston Rockets on Saturday night, when Young had his first-ever assist to Bryant.

How freakin insane is that?

young and kobe have always had their problems. both are cancers to the Lakers because of their large egos and both seeing who can out chuck the other.

Tyson Chandler, who will be paid $25.4 million following this season until 2018, played just 14 minutes off the bench
