Mardy has always seemed to have shot decently in summer league and then somehow disappears during the season. I don't know what it is. I will say his shot looks the best I have seen it.
It he keeps it up, he can make a decent case for consistent playing time.

RE his outside shot, Mardy looked good game 1, terrible game 2. I am taping or seeing this game later, so I can't comment on what he is doing now. I don't know whether the inconsitency is in his head or his form. He had moments in his first seasons where he was playing like a borderline starter.

He, obviously, has to be consistent with the jumper to remain on this team. I don't recall him having the arc on his shot that he has this year, but I don't remember his jumper from last year because he played so little.

He is a legit 6'4"+ guy who can rebound, pass, and usually play good D. Has lots of value if he can shoot when it counts. I thought he might be a sleeper when the Knicks drafted him, and the end of his rookie season game me hope, but he really has to step it up this year.

It sounds like Mike D' likes him. It really looks like Marbury will be the odd guy out but it appears that there will open competition at training camp for roles. That's good to hear. I think Jerome James is another odd guy out. No mention of him by Mike D'

Damn, Mike D' thinks Chandler should dominate the game because he believes no one on the court has his same talent as him. I told you this guy has a man crush on him.

Considering his real competition for playing time is Q, that's exactly what I want to hear. Hell, if he's serious about this man crush, I'll buy the dinner and pay for a night at Motel 6, just get the kid in the starting lineup!

Mike D has a great personality and he doesn't take himself too seriously. He is truly a breath of fresh air and a great representation of the team. And as someone mentioned earlier he has some great one-liners. He joked that Roberson couldn't miss a shot in practice then can't make one after he signed his contract.

I always thought he was a nice contrast to Nate, but last year was a big let down. His size and defense in the back court alone makes him an asset, but he'll never survive the D'Antoni game if he can't keep up his J.

Right now, I definitely don't mind keeping him around as the 3rd string PG.

Durant is playing the two guard full time now? Clyde said they moved him, I know he played in spots last season. PJ don't be a fool and screw that kid up.

He and Collins had a nice game. Roberson showed some passing today. I liked their defensive intensity today versus Wed. Robin Lopez is going to be a nice player. He reminds me of David Lee. Nice draft pick for the Suns. He needs to get stronger though. If I were the Knicks I would sit Chandler and see more of Holland.

Wilson Chandler is better than anyone from this draft--if he played like this and Depaul and stayed he wouldve been pick 1

In this system he should start the shaun Marion 4 slot because of the way he rebounds the ball and his speed.

D'Antoni himself was comparing him to Marion during the game.

Well, Jay Bilas last year said if Wilson Chandler stayed and would have come out in 2008, he would be a top 10 pick. He also said that in a couple of years he believe that Chandler would be the 2nd best SF prospect to come out of 2007 draft.

I sincerely hope that Wilson keeps playing this way come the regular season. He's looked great, but I'm holding out for more convincing opposition.

To add to that.. that play today where he blocked a shot and then ran the break after was beautiful. I hope I see some more of that.

The reason why Chandler left early was Wainwright refused to run up tempo as he promised Chandler to maximize his skills.
