He is starting to remind me of a weaker Spree...

Spree was a very good shooter and prolific scorer. I don't see the comparison other than he can run the fast break.

That is still a fair comparrison. He is not gonan be able to survive on th eblock. He's gonna have to add some perimeter game. I think he will. He looks natural when he has the ball on the drive or the break.

FYI....all the other guys the Knicks have put out so far other than the draft picks are bums.......Did Adeleke(sp?) play yet?

Kenny may have, but he didn't do anything noteworthy...he looks big. real big...slimmer than Jackie, though, more cut.

Actually he wasn't known for either when he first entered the league. He was known as a ball hawk. Nellie help him develop into the player he became.

You can like Balkman, you can like Spree, but they have very different styles and come out of college with very different reputations.

Could you imagine what a bar would be like if they had internet acsess? Guys pulling up stats and **** to prove their point.....

Balkman is not Spree but the dudes have alot of similarities that have nothing to do with stats.

Frye might have gotten bigger but did that make him slower? He is not working on a face-up game at all. Not good.

Doesn't look like he lost end to end speed. He wasn't that quick to begin with...Alot of fouls on us....we aren't rebounding either.
